Configuring the Converter

With DriveExecutive software, version 1.01 or later, you can edit
parameters in both the 1203-USB converter and the connected drive. With
DPI and DSI drives, you can also edit parameters in any of their connected
peripherals.

Important: For DriveExecutive software to operate with DSI drives

point-to-point, converter Parameter 01 - [Adapter Cfg] must
be set to ‘0’ (Auto, the default). If this parameter needs to be
changed, HyperTerminal software can be used to configure the
converter (see

Use with HyperTerminal Software on page E-1

).

This procedure is provided to help you use DriveExecutive software with
the 1203-USB converter. If you are unsure how to complete a step, refer to
the software online help (from the Help menu, choose Help Topics).
