Section 4: Input/ Output (I/O)

4.1.

INTRODUCTION

Connectivity is one of the primary features of the FB3000 and Kernel Weight

Server program. The FB3000 has multiple RS232 ports, USB ports, Ethernet port, and a Parallel port to name a few. This section will provide steps in order to connect the FB 3000 in a variety of manners to a variety of devices.

4.2.

CONFIGURE OUTPUT

4.2.1. Introduction

This menu selection provides a means to configure data strings protocols, configuration parameters, and output modes such as Continuous, Demand,

Auto, To File, and Network.

4.2.2. Configuring an Output Data String

In order to interface an FB3000 Instrument to software or a pre-existing peripheral device, such as a remote display, knowing their specific Output

Data String is mandatory.

─

This allows the software or peripheral device to communicate with the

FB3000.

─

When adding to other manufacturer’s devices, refer to their Service

Manuals for Output Data String information.

─

Interfacing with other manufacturer’s software, refer to either a web site,

Service Manual, or contact the manufacturer directly for the Output Data

String information.

Fairbanks’ current programming for setting up an Output Data String provides quick and easy flexibility for customizing the FB3000 Serial Outputs.

4.2.3. Two Methods of Formatting

There are two methods to format an Output Data String.

1. Use one of the five (5) preconfigured

Load Defaults

under the Load

tab.

2. Use the most similar

Load Default

as a basis for customizing an

Output Data String which matches the manufacturer’s company-specific configuration. This method is done in the Build tab.

04/12 17 51146 Rev. 3


4.2.4. Load Default Data Protocols

When programming a Output Data String, the Fairbanks’ FB3000 has five of the most commonly used pre-configurations, known as

Load Defaults

. These data strings are listed below:

4.2.6. Customizing the Output Data Strings

The FB3000 Kernel Weight Server program can also be customized to support numerous manufacturers software interfaces and peripheral devices. When programming a Data String Protocol not formatted as one of the

Load Defaults

, the Output Data String must be

programmed manually

using the

Build,

Tokens, and Weights Tabs.

4.2.7. Steps in Customizing

Follow these steps to customize the Output Data String.

1. Locate the required Output Data String by viewing history from previous work completed with the customer, or by emailing and/or calling the company directly and asking their IT Department for this information.

2. Compare the required Output Data String with the five

Load Default

configurations.

3. Open the

Load

tab.

4. Select the

COM Port

to be configured.

5. Select the

Load Default

that most resembles the required

Output Data String format

04/12 22 51147 Rev. 3


4.2.8. ASCII and Text Data Character Types

There are two types of data configuration characters. Both have an important and have a specific function; both are used within the same data string. Both types are defined below.

ASCII

(

A

merican

S

tandard

C

ode for

I

nternet

I

nterchange)

Characters

─

Text Formatted Characters are always written with a “

0x_ _ _

” prefix, which tells the Kernel Program Read-me Trigger to post it as text character

(i.e. 0x120).

─

A code for information exchange between computers using a string of seven

(7) binary digits represents each character.

─

Each character identifies either a alphanumeric symbol (i.e. 065 = A, 066 = B,

etc.) or invokes an on-screen action (i.e. 013 = CR = Carriage Return).

─

One

Text Block

must be added to the Data String for each character before formatting it.

─

The data entries use decimal-based ASCII character codes.

─

Complete ASCII Chart found in

Appendix IV

.

Text Formatted Characters

─

A

Text

block must be added to the Data String before formatting the next character.

─

These Text Formatted Characters are used to add a specific message to the

Service Technician, and it is done in combination with the text and with other

ASCII Text Characters.

Appendix II: I/O Addresses & Control

INTERRUPT CONTROLLER

The FB3000 embedded PCB is a fully PC compatible control board. It consists of 16

ISA interrupt request lines. Most of them are already in use by other parts of the board. Both ISA and PCI expansion cards may need to use IRQs, so make sure the

IRQs do not conflict when using add-on cards.

System IRQs are available to cards installed in the ISA expansion bus first. Any remaining IRQs then may be assigned to the PCI bus. Check out an AMI

diagnostic utility to see the map.

DMA CHANNEL ASSIGNMENT

By default,

Channel four (4)

is used to cascade the two controllers.

SOCKS is an Internet Protocol that allows client-server applications to transparently use the services of a network firewall.

─

SOCKS is an abbreviation for "sockets".

─

Clients behind a firewall, needing to access exterior servers, may connect to a SOCKS proxy server instead. Such a proxy server controls the eligibility of the client to access the external server and passes the request on to the server.

─

SOCKS can also be used in the opposite way, allowing the clients outside the firewall (exterior clients) to connect to servers inside the firewall

(internal servers).

A typical SOCKS 4 connection request looks like the following (each number is one byte).

Client to SOCKS Server:

Field 1: SOCKS version number, 1 byte, must be 0x04 for this version

Field 2: Command code, 1 byte:

─

─

0x01 = Establish a TCP/IP stream connection.

0x02 = Establish a TCP/IP port binding.

Field 3: Network byte order port number, 2 bytes.

Field 4: Network byte order IP address, 4 bytes.

Field 5: The user ID string, variable length, terminated with a null (0x00).

Server to SOCKS client:

Field 1: Null byte.

Field 2: Status, 1 byte:

─

0x5a = Request granted.

─

0x5b = Request rejected or failed.

─

0x5c = Request failed because client is not running identd (or not reachable from the server).

─

0x5d = Request failed because client's identd could not confirm the user ID string in the request.

Field 3: 2 arbitrary bytes, that should be ignored.

Field 4: 4 arbitrary bytes, that should be ignored.

APPENDIX VII: SOCKS INFORMATION, CONTINUED

The SOCKS 5 Protocol, an extension of the SOCKS 4 Protocol that offers more choices of authentication, is defined in RFC 1928.

The initial handshake now consists of the following:

Client connects and sends a greeting which includes a list of authentication methods supported.

Server chooses one (or sends a failure response if none of the offered methods are acceptable).

Several messages may now pass between the client and the server depending on the authentication method chosen.

Client sends a connection request similar to SOCKS 4.

Server responds similar to SOCKS 4.

The authentication methods supported are numbered as follows:

0x00 - No authentication.

0x01 – GSSAPI.

0x02 - Username/Password.

0x03-0x7F - Methods assigned by IANA.

0x80-0xFE - Methods reserved for private use.

The initial greeting from the client is:

Field 1: SOCKS version number (must be 0x05 for this version).

Field 2: Number of authentication methods supported, 1 byte.

Field 3: Authentication methods, variable length, 1 byte per method supported.

The server's choice is communicated:

Field 1: SOCKS version, 1 byte (0x05 for this version).

Field 2: Chosen authentication method, 1 byte, or 0xFF if no acceptable methods were offered.

The subsequent authentication is method-dependent and described in RFC 1929.

The client's authentication request is:

Field 1: Version number, 1 byte (must be 0x01).

Field 2: Username length, 1 byte.

Field 3: Username.

Field 4: Password length, 1 byte.

Field 5: Password.

Server response for authentication:

Field 1: Version, 1 byte.

Field 2: Status code, 1 byte.

─

0x00 = success.

─

Any other value = failure, connection must be closed.

The client's connection request is:

Field 1: SOCKS version number, 1 byte (must be 0x05 for this version).

Field 2: Command code, 1 byte:

─

0x01 = establish a TCP/IP stream connection.

─

0x02 = establish a TCP/IP port binding.

─

0x03 = associate a UDP port.

Field 3: Reserved, must be 0x00.

Field 4: Address type, 1 byte:

─

0x01 = IPv4 address.

─

0x03 = Domain name.

─


Field 5: Destination address of:

─

4 bytes for IPv4 address.

─

1 byte of name length followed by the name for Domain name.

─


Field 6: Port number in a network byte order, 2 bytes.

Server response:

Field 1: SOCKS protocol version, 1 byte (0x05 for this version).

Field 2: Status, 1 byte:

─

0x00 = Request granted.

─

0x01 = General failure.

─

0x02 = Connection not allowed by ruleset.

─

0x03 = Network unreachable.

─

0x04 = Host unreachable.

─

0x05 = Connection refused by destination host.

─

0x06 = TTL expired.

─

0x07 = Command not supported / protocol error.

─

0x08 = Address type not supported.

Field 3: Reserved, must be 0x00.

Field 4: Address type, 1 byte:

─


─

0x03 = Domain name.

─


Field 5: Destination address of :

─


─

1 byte of name length followed by the name for Domain name.

─


Field 6: Network byte order port number, 2 bytes.
