Port Type for Port 2
The Port Type parameters window is displayed with the default setting. To change the Port
Type, select an option in the first box. Other parameters become available as you select
options in subsequent boxes. You have reached the last parameter when the message “Port
Type selection is completed” is displayed, as shown below:
ToolBox requires you to select a value for each parameter. After selecting the required values,
click on the OK or Apply icon to save the selection. Until the changes are applied,
the screen header will reflect the previous values, but will be marked as “(Modified)”. Until
the changes are applied, all other related screens will use the previous Port Type values. If you
try to apply the changes or save the WorkSpace without selecting a value in a drop-down list,
an appropriate message is displayed which tells you to complete the entries. To exit the screen
without applying the changes, click on the Cancel icon. To revert to the default values,
click the on the Default icon.
When you finish setting the Port Type parameters, the parameters you have selected will
appear beside Port 2 in the WorkSpaceBar Port tab.

IMPORTANT
If you change the Port Type parameter setting, all parameter values that have
been previously modified return to their default.
The following is a description of the different combinations.
Not Used
Means that the specific port is not used. This definition saves RAM memory (about 2Kb) that
can be used by the application.
RS232, Async, Local Computer (MDLC)
For connection to ToolBox or central, using the MDLC protocol.
RS232, Async, RTU-to-RTU (MDLC)
For local connection to another RTU in asynchronous mode, via RS232, using the MDLC
protocol (it can also be used for communicating with the ToolBox).
