Aux Port Parameters
Allows you to set mode and communications parameters between the scanner and an auxiliary monitor. An auxiliary monitor can be used to configure
the menus, send data to the host, and display data transmissions originating from the host or scanner.
Note: Aux Port operates in RS-232 only. See Appendix I, “Auxiliary Monitor,” on
page A-16 for a full description of auxiliary port options.
Aux Mode
Default: Disabled
Options: Disabled, Transparent, Half Duplex, Full Duplex, Daisy Chain.
Aux Mode (auxiliary mode) allows you to select a communications mode for
auxiliary operations (see Appendix I, “Auxiliary Monitor,” on page A-16).
Other Aux Port Parameters
The other Aux Port parameters—Baud Rate, Parity, Stop Bits, and Data Bits—are
identical to the host port parameters and are changed in the same manner.
Note: The Aux Port baud rate should never exceed Host Port baud rate or auxiliary port data could be lost.

Default: Disabled
Options: Disabled
Note: Used only in Point-to-Point protocol, and not with RTS/CTS.
Enabled
Whenever RS-422 is disabled, RS-232 is enabled in the background.
However, when Multidrop is enabled, the functioning protocol is RS-485
regardless of the displayed status of RS-422 in the menus. Before enabling
RS-422, first double-check that Multidrop is not enabled. (See “Protocol” on
page 2-6.
(See Appendix H, “Interface Standards,” on page A-15 for additional information on RS-422.)
