Configuring the Serial Converter Module

With DriveExplorer software, you can edit parameters in both the serial
converter module and the connected DSI-enabled drive. On PowerFlex
4/40 drives (or other DSI products), you can also edit parameters in any
of the attached peripherals. DriveExplorer Lite is shipped with the serial
converter module and is a free, limited-feature version of DriveExplorer.

Important: Parameter 1 - [Adapter Cfg] must be set to “Auto”

(default) for DriveExplorer to operate. HyperTerminal can
be used if Parameter 1 - [Adapter Cfg] needs to be
changed (see

Using Terminal Emulation Software

section).
