HPP-100 Hand-Held Programmer
Revision 3.3 6
Configuring the Serial Port
To establish communication with a serial printer, PC, or Modem, the Master Control Unit’s serial
port must be configured for the device to be used. To configure the serial port for the serial printer
or the PC, the serial printer or PC cabling at the Master Control Unit’s serial port must be
disconnected. To configure the serial port for the modem, the modem must be connected and
ready to receive initialization string from the Master Control Unit. The serial printer or PC cabling
can be reconnected after the Serial Port is configured. Use the Hand-Held Programmer to
perform the following commands.
1) If the Master Control Unit is not already in the programming mode, enter the PIN.
2) Press [LVL] [9] [2] to enter the ‘set serial port’ mode.
3) Press [0] [SEND] for Serial Printer operation,
[1] [SEND] for PC operation, or
[2] [SEND] for Modem operation.
The optional LCD display (if installed) will assist in monitoring command status as you enter this
information. For example, beginning with Step 2 from above, the following information is
displayed.
SERIAL PORT
PRT = 0 PC = 1 REM = 2
And as the selection is made for step 3 from above (for example 0, for the Serial Printer), the
following information is displayed.

PRINTER
When the [SEND] key is pressed, the command is executed and the Master Control Unit is now
ready for the next command.
[p] COMMAND [1]
ENTER OPTION
In this “Ready for Command” screen, the field in the upper left corner indicates the configuration
of the serial port: [p] for the Serial Printer, [h] for host PC or Memory Module, and [m] for the
Modem. These characters will be in lower-case when the communication line is “off-line” and in
upper case when the communication line is “on-line.”
NOTE: Each communication configuration requires unique cabling. Please refer
to Figures 2, 3, and 4 to determine the cabling required for your application.
