able to operate the MCNRCD software at the highest baud rate (38400 bps). You
may have to run at either 14400 bps or 9600 bps.
If your COM port uses a 16450 or 8250 type UART, and you are running at 38400
bps, and you get the HIB communication error screen (see section 7.2.2.1), try
running the MCNRCD software at 1400 bps or 9600 bps (remember to change the
HIB’s baud rate selection switches to match the new data rate and then reset the
HIB module).
Modem Requirements
Modems may be used to create a remote comparator display system. CTI
Products, Inc. recommends the following:
•
V.34 (28.8 K) modems with V.42bis or MNP 5 data compression for
best system performance in systems with 10 or more Comparator I/O
Modules.
•
V.32bis (14.4 K) modems with V.42bis or MNP 5 data compression
for better system response in systems with 1 to 9 Comparator I/O
Modules.
•
V.32 (9600) modems with data compression for normal system
response in systems with 1 to 9 Comparator I/O Modules.
See section 10 for additional modem information, including specific modems that
have been tested and verified to operate with MCNRCD.
