Table 5. RS485 Port Settings .
1. Follow the procedure outlined in Section 3-1
to configure the Gateway.
2. At the Configuration menu, select the option
number, then press <ENTER> . At the prompt,
enter the new setting, then press <ENTER> . For
options 1, 3, 5, and 7, enter the new setting
from the options in Table 5, then press
<ENTER> . For options 2, 4, 6, and 8, enter each
new parameter as prompted, using the correct
entries from Table 5. If you enter an invalid
value, the following message display:
Press <ENTER> to return to the Configuration
menu.
NOTE: Pressing <ESC> while entering a new value for a
setting discards the changes and redisplays the
Configuration menu.
3. Follow steps 5 and 6 of Section 3-1 to save any
changes and exit configuration mode.
3–4 Message Monitoring
For diagnostic purposes, you may want to monitor
message traffic across the RS485 ports. This can be
done on a terminal connected to the RS232 port.
You may monitor messages on any single RS485
port or on all four ports simultaneously.
Selecting menu item 14 allows you to select whether
or not messages are sent to the RS232 port in
monitor mode and which RS485 ports are to be
monitored. The following prompt appears:
Enter your selection from the above choices.
3–5 Ethernet Driver
Menu item 10 permits the Ethernet driver to be
selected. Most systems utilize DIX Ethernet; a
handful use IEEE Ethernet. The Gateway defaults
to the DIX Ethernet driver. If your network does not
function under DIX Ethernet and you have
eliminated all other potential sources of trouble,
change the driver setting to IEEE Ethernet and retry
communications. If this does not resolve the
problem, contact Customer Service.
