TM - Transparent Mode

Command Input

TM [PORT] [ESCAPE]

Description

The TM command connects the current console serial port to the an

other port, allowing you to communicate with a host computer. The

two ports remain connected until the escape character (the

character used to exit the transparent mode) is received by the

console port. The escape character is not transmitted to the host,

and at power-up or reset it is initialized to $01 (CTRL- a).

The optional PORT argument allows you to specify which port is

the host port. If omitted, port 1 is assumed.

The ports do not have to be at the same baud rate, but the console

port baud rate should be equal to or greater than the host port baud

rate for reliable operation. To change the baud rate use the PF (Port

Format) command.

The optional ESCAPE argument allows you to specify the character

to be used as the escape character. This character may be either a

Control character (e.g., CTRL-a), or an ASCII character. The

ESCAPE argument can be entered in one of three formats:

If the port number is omitted and the ESCAPE argument is entered

as a numeric value, precede the ESCAPE argument with a comma

to distinguish it from a port number.
