XL7 User Manual
If communication is established, the target indicator will show the mode of the controller
Target: yy(R) as shown in the status section above in this chapter, section Cscape Status Bar.
If the controller is not communicating, ensure the target ID is set correctly. If not, set the target ID of the
controller in Cscape or on the unit. The Target ID allows directing communications to a particular unit
when multiple units are connected via a CsCAN network. Units without CsCAN network ports respond
to any network ID and do not require the ID to be configured.
To check or change the ID on the XL7 OCS, press the system menu key.
The first item in the menu is Set Networks. Pressing Enter allows the ID of the unit to be viewed or
modified.
To change the Target ID of Cscape use the Controller | Set Target Network ID dialog.

Next, connect the PC’s serial port to the port labeled MJ1 on the XL7.
If communications are successful, the target indicator should show the mode of the controller Target:
yy(R) as shown in the status section above.
If the controller is not communicating, it may be required to set the target ID of the controller in Cscape
or on the unit. The Target ID allows directing communications to a particular unit when multiple units
are connected via a CsCAN network. Units without CsCAN network ports respond to any network ID and
do not require the ID to be configured.
