Dataport configuration
The system provides two standard RS232 serial ports to allow a computer to be connected for data transfer and
control purposes.
Dataport 1
If you wish to connect a PC to Dataport 1, you must ensure that the PC and the system are identically
configured. The available settings are:
Dataport 1 supports 4 different modes:
Data mode
Provides a transparent data channel. This
channel can be used for many different
purposes such as file transfer, application
sharing and more. When using this mode, it is
necessary to have a TANDBERG system at
the far end.
Control mode
The control interface provided by the Dataport
supports a subset of the Hayes command set
as well as a comprehensive set of system
specific commands.
This mode maintains communication with the Dataport’s command interpreter at all times. All features available
from the hand-held remote control can be accessed through the dataport.
Modem
Allows you to control the system externally via a PC as in Control Mode. Once a call is established, Dataport 1
will automatically switch to Data mode. When the call disconnects, Dataport 1 switches back to Control Mode.
T.120
Provides a data channel supporting the T.120 standard for data communication. Using T.120 software on your PC,
you can communicate with other T.120 systems using your PC and your system.
NOTE
WHEN CONNECTING TO A PC THE CONNECTING CABLE MUST BE A STRAIGHT THROUGH RS232 CABLE.
