Short Data Service (SDS/PEI)
The Short Data Service (SDS) and the Periferal Equipment Interface (PEI) is another feature of the
terminal's data service. Instead of using the MMI (Man Machine Interface), this uses AT commands
to pass data via the terminal's RS232 port.
4.1
SDS/PEI Setup Procedure
4.1.1
Introduction
To use this service, a terminal must be connected to a standard computer via its RS232 port and the
appropriate data cable/box. See Chapter 1 for the data accessories associated with the terminal
type being used.
Note: Ensure no other application is using the computer port.
The computer may be configured to work on the company's LAN and must now be re-configured to
work with the terminal on the radio network.
As the computer is normally working on the company LAN it contains security software that:
•
Restricts access
•
Is anti virus
•
Is a fire wall
If the computer is running something like 'BlackICE', the computer will never work with the terminal.
This application must be stopped for the duration that the computer is being used with the terminal.
It may also be necessary to stop other applications, or change their default settings.
To stop applications follow the path:
Start/Settings/Control Panel/Administrive Tools/Services.
This window displays the applications running on the computer and from which they can be stopped.
