PROTOCOL CONVERTER A/S-2G
16
In 3741 protocol, each block contains only one record. If SW3, Switch #5 is OFF, the A/S-2G will fill
the block with spaces until it reaches 128 characters . If SW3, Switch #5 is ON, the block will end
immediately after CR.

immediately after CR.
NOTE:
• If SW3, Switch #3 is OFF, then one character of the total count must be allotted to the CR. The CR
• If SW3, Switch #3 is OFF, then one character of the total count must be allotted to the CR. The CR
will be translated into EBCDIC as a NL (New Line). Thus, if block size is specified as 80 characters,
79 characters plus the CR would make a full 80 character record. Entering 80-characters and a CR
would cause 2 records to be sent: one with the 80 characters; the second with the NL character and,
if SW3, Switch #5 is OFF, 79 spaces.

• When SW3, Switch #3 is ON, the A/S-2G will delete CR from the character count and send no
representation of the CR with the EBCDIC data.

ODE
Data from the asynchronous device is buffered (stored in RAM) until a CR (ASCII 0D Hex) is entered.
If the A/S-2G receives asynchronous characters up to the selected block size without receiving a CR
character, the A/S-2G will add an IUS character and a 2-byte CRC sequence to the block.
If the A/S-2G receives asynchronous characters up to the selected block size without receiving a CR
character, the A/S-2G will add an IUS character and a 2-byte CRC sequence to the block.
When the A/S-2G receives a CR, the A/S-2G sends any buffered data to the synchronous device with
an ETB (EBCDIC Hex 26).
an ETB (EBCDIC Hex 26).
The last block of asynchronous data must end with a “Control D” (ASCII Hex 04). The A/S-2G will
send the block, adding with an ETX (EBCDIC Hex 03). After receiving a positive acknowledgement,
the A/S-2G sends an EOT.

ODE
Data from the asynchronous device is buffered until a CR (ASCII 0D Hex) is entered. When the
A/S-2G receives a CR, the A/S-2G inserts an IRS (EBCDIC 1E Hex). Data will continue to accumulate
until the selected block size is exceeded. At this point, the A/S-2G sends the full block of data.

4.1.6 FLOW CONTROL
The input buffer (RAM) is capable of storing up to 1720 characters. The asynchronous device can
continuously send data to the A/S-2G if RAM is available and the character string contains a CR code
before the buffer fills. (However, the maximum block size that is acceptable to the synchronous device
must be considered.)
