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
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
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.
