Installation & Operation / 2-59

2.4.3 Operation of the Mode Switch

The System Controller’s Mode Switch (SW1) is a two position piano type DIP-Switch that
functions as follows:

Both switches set to the OPEN (Right) or CLOSED (Left) positions = Recovery Mode.
Recovery Mode is used for either a firmware upgrade (see Section 2.4.2) or a core updump
(see Section 3.6).

SW1-1 set to the OPEN (Right) position and SW1-2 set to the CLOSED (Left) position =
Local Mode. Local Mode should be selected for normal running operations.

2.4.4 Soft Switch Configuration and Communication Ports


Firmware defined soft switches that control many default settings for various system
operating parameters such as BSAP Local Address, EBSAP Group Number, four (4) com-
munication port parameters, etc., can be viewed and, if desired, changed via ‘Configuration
Web Pages’ in Microsoft Internet Explorer via the Flash Configuration Utility. When
connecting the ControlWave EFM to the PC (local or network) for the first time you should
be aware of the communication port default parameter settings provided below (see Figures
2-8 through 2-13B). Note: Communication port factory defaults can be enabled anytime by
setting CPU Board Switch SW2-3 to the OFF position.


COM1: From the factory, RS-232 Communications Port COM1 defaults to 115.2 kbd (RS-232)

using the Internet Point to Point Protocol (PPP). Note: By setting CPU Switch SW2-8
OFF, the boot project will be prevented from running and the unit will be placed
into diagnostic mode.
To test COM1 using the WINDIAG program, it must not
otherwise be in use. Note: CPU Switch SW2-8 must be set OFF to run the WINDIAG
program.
Connection to a PC requires the use of an RS-232 “Null Modem” cable (see
Figure 2-12).


COM2: From the factory, RS-232 Communications Port COM2 on the CPU Board defaults

to 9600 baud, 8-bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, BSAP/ControlWave Designer protocol
operation. To test COM2 using the WINDIAG program, it must not otherwise be in
use. Note: CPU Switch SW2-8 must be set OFF to run the WINDIAG program.


COM3: RS-485 Communications Port COM3 on the CPU Board defaults to 9600 baud, 8-

bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, BSAP/ControlWave Designer protocol operation. To test
COM3 using the WINDIAG program, it must not otherwise be in use. Note: CPU
Switch SW2-8 must be set OFF to run the WINDIAG program.
In lieu of the use of
an RS-232 Port, an RS-485 cable (see Tables 2-4A & 2-5) can be connected between
COM3 and the PC’s RS-485 Port.


COM4: From the factory, RS-232 Communications Port COM4 on the first optional

Expansion Communications Module defaults to 9600 baud, 8-bits, no parity, 1 stop
bit, BSAP/ControlWave Designer protocol operation. To test COM4 using the
WINDIAG program, it must not otherwise be in use. Note: CPU Switch SW2-8 must
be set OFF to run the WINDIAG program.
When required, an RS-232 “Null Modem”
cable be connected between COM4 and the PC (typically COM1) (see Figure 2-12).


COM5: RS-485 Communications Port COM5 on the first optional Expansion Com-

munications Module defaults to 9600 baud, 8-bits, no parity, 1 stop bit,
BSAP/ControlWave Designer protocol operation. To test COM5 using the
