7Communications

Introduction

The M3000 supports both on-line communications using the keyboard wedge and wedge

emulation using SOFTCOM keyboard emulation software, and file transfers that operate in

combination with a PC communications program such as PCOM and the M3000 Programmer.

All communications modes depend on properly operating components, including serial ports, cable

assemblies, and modems. Serial communication parameters must have exactly the same settings

on the M3000 and on the PC's or host's communication software.

Transmitting Files

The M3000 allows uploading of data files and uploading and downloading M3000 programs and

setup, and lookup files. This chapter explains the M3000 transmit upload, receive, and send

menus. The M3000 displays the current name being transmitted and the percentage of the file that

has been transmitted. You can abort any transmit or receive operation by pressing ANY key on the

keyboard.

If transmitting with the serial port, select XMIT before connecting the M3000 to any other device.

This will prevent any serial port transients from being interpreted as data characters when the

M3000 serial port powers up. Pressing any key on the M3000 during a file transmission will abort

the file transmission.

NOTE: The M3000 stores all system files in a compressed format. This includes programs, setup

files, lookup files and clone files. You can send them to a PC, but you cannot edit them.

All systems files are transmitted using the "Send Select" menus.

Attempts to view system files will be futile. Your display may show arrays of meaning-

less ASCII characters, or possibly HEX values depending on the editor in use. If you

attempt to edit a system file using a PC editor or file viewer, the system file may become

unusable.

Transmit Select

>Upload Data

Transmit Select>Upload Data gives you the choice of transmitting ALL DATA FILES or

transmitting individual program/data files from the M3000. ALL DATA FILES will transmit

every data file stored in your M3000. If you want to send data from a specific program, select the

program used to enter the data, then choose ALL DATA FILES for that program or select a

specific data file saved using that program. When either option is selected, the M3000 will prompt

you for one of the following configurations:

KEYBOARD WEDGE connects between the keyboard and personal computer.

SERAL WEDGE connects in-line between the host computer and any RS232 ASCII terminal.
