ACS R6.0 API/SMDI 1

[oscardad]

ACS R6.0.3S C01 with API card installed

Can any of the gurus tell me what the output to hyperterminal should look like with API on? If I turn it off, the SMDR data displays as plain text. If I turn it on the data displays as a mixture of numbers and ascii characters.

Thanks

F #615, if API is on SMDR cannot be used since the port is now used by the API....i have never tried # 616 - all calls maybe that's your solution......let me know...

g

SET CRTL ALT DEL = #728

Greg,
Thanks for the tip. I realize that only SMDR or API can be active, it's just that the SMDR data is readable on hyperterm and with API "ON" the data is not readable. Guess my question comes down to "is the API data only usable by a secondary program and not readable using hyperterminal?"

Again, thanks for the help!

Hi oscardad,
The API is going to send control characters too. And yes, you are expected to use a secondary program or what good would API be? Anyway, terminal programs don't like control characters they don't know about.

I think that must be what's freaking out hyperterminal. All makes sense, just couldn't document it anywhere. You guys always come through. Thanks for the valuable information.
