Terminal Setup Menu

This menu is used to configure features of the 193-DNCT (HIM). The
following menu choices are presented:

Communication Setup Screen
(HIM Comm)

This screen is invoked by pressing Enter while HIM Comm is selected in the
Terminal Setup Menu. It configures how the 193-DNCT connects to the
DeviceNet™ network. Three basic options are configured here: the baud rate, the
node address, and the power up delay. When configuring the baud rate, auto baud
can be enabled or disabled, and the baud rates 125K, 250K or 500K can be
selected. When configuring the Node Address, Auto Addressing can be enabled
or disabled, and the node address number can be set. When Auto Addressing is
enabled the 193-DNCT will operate as follows: the first Dup MacID message
will be sent out using the node address that has been configured in the Address
Field. If a node is found at that address, the node address is decremented by 1, and
the terminal will determine if there is a node at the new address. This will
continue until the 193-DNCT finds a node address that is not being used.

The PowerUp Delay field specifies the time waited from initial power up until
the first messages are produced by the 193-DNCT. This feature allows the
operator to set the time before the 193-DNCT starts communicating with
devices on the network, allowing scanners to connect to any group two devices
