PROTOCOL CONVER TER A/S-2G 6 2.0 Introduction The Model A/S-2G provides compatibility between an asynchronous, ASCII coded device and a synchronous, EBCDIC coded device. It is desirable, prior to installation, to review the following checklist to ensure the appropriateness of all the devices in the system for the planned application. Synchronous (B[...]

CHAPTER 3: Installation 7 3.0 Installation 3.1 UNP ACKING AND INSPECTION After unpacking the A/S-2G, inspect it for shipping damage. Should there be any noticeable damage, save the cartons and contact the carrier who delivered the box to place a freight damage claim. T o open the A/S-2G, take out the four screws from the bottom. Lift off the cover [...]

PROTOCOL CONVER TER A/S-2G 8 Block size for the 2770/2780 is normally limited to 160, but block size is 400 if the 2770/2780 has the Multiple Record T ransmission. Block size for the 3780 is 512. Switch #4 ON = sends CR LF (Carriage Return, Line Feed) to asynchronous device immediately after each logical end of block character (ETB, or ETX) is rece[...]

PROTOCOL CONVER TER A/S-2G 10 NOTE Self-diagnostics will normally display the switches as they are set on the printed circuit board. If the switches were reconfigured (see Section 3.2.4), the switches will be displayed as they are set in the software. 3.2.4 RECONFIGURE SWITCH MODE T o enter the Reconfigure Switch Mode, a terminal must be connected [...]

CHAPTER 3: Installation 11 If SW3, Switch #7 is ON, the A/S-2G will drop DTR when only 32 character spaces remain in the buffer . The A/S-2G will reassert DTR as soon as there are at least 33 character spaces available. For most applications, it is best to configure SW3, Switch #7 ON. If SW3, Switch #7 is OFF , the A/S-2G does not use DTR to contro[...]

PROTOCOL CONVER TER A/S-2G 12 3.3.5 CARRIER OPTIONS If the carrier detect signal is to be driven by the A/S-2G configuration (DCE), the jumper labeled CAR A ENB must be installed. CAR A ENB is located below U20. Refer to the printed circuit board, Figure 5-2, on page 28. The carrier control jumper , CARR A, in between U18 and U19 on the circuit boa[...]

CHAPTER 3: Installation 13 there is data to be transmitted. Once the A/S-2G receives CTS from the attached device, it will transmit the data. When the synchronous port (Port B) is configured as DTE, the CTS B jumper must be placed over the CNT position. Place the CTS B jumper over the CNT position when Port B is configured as DCE. 3.4.3 BAUD RA TE [...]

Example: &% - Command - &% Commands consist of character pairs. Each pair must represent a valid Hexidecimal value (i.e. zero through 9 or A through F). Example: T o send an escape s[...]

CHAPTER 4: Operation 4.0 Operation By its nature, a protocol converter must operate differently in each direction, since it is communicating with separate devices. Therefore, its operation will be discussed separately for asynchronous to synchronous operation and for synchronous to asynchronous. 4.1 ASYNCHRONOUS DEVICE TO SYNCHRONOUS DEVICE 4.1.1 L[...]

PROTOCOL CONVER TER A/S-2G 16 In 3741 protocol, each block contains only one record. If SW3, Switch #5 is OFF , the A/S-2G will fill the block with spaces until it reaches 128 characters . If SW3, Switch #5 is ON, the block will end immediately after CR. NOTE: • If SW3, Switch #3 is OFF , then one character of the total count must be allotted to [...]

CHAPTER 4: Operation 17 If SW3, Switch #7 is OFF , the A/S-2G will send an X-OFF (ASCII DC3, 13 Hex) to the asynchronous device when RAM reaches a nearly-full state. This prevents data from being lost due to a buffer overrun. When RAM space is available, the A/S-2G will send an X-ON (ASCII DC1, 11 Hex) to resume transmission. Alternatively , if SW3[...]

When the asynchronous side has control of the line, a turnaround cannot occur until an “End of T ransmission”[...]

CHAPTER 4: Operation 23 Should the A/S-2G receive a DLE EOT (disconnect), the A/S-2G will cycle the synchro-nous DTR lead off for 2 seconds. This action will disconnect a phone line if the DTR B jumper is set for CNT . NOTE The A/S-2G will cycle the synchronous DTR lead off for 2 seconds whether the DLE EOT sequence comes from the synchronous or as[...]
