This menu allows you to select options that apply to only the modem port
of the 1775–KA module. These options are described below.

Enable/Disable Port

This option determines whether or not the 1775–KA module can
communicate through its RS–232–C port. You must select the ENABLE
option in order to allow this communication to take place. If you make no
selection, the PLC–3 disables the RS–232–C port by default.

Note, however, that you cannot use LIST to change any other parameters
of the RS–232–C port unless you first disable the port. After you are
done entering parameters through LIST, don’t forget to enable the
RS–232–C port again

Station Number

This option selects the number by which the PLC–3 station is identified
on an RS–232–C communication link. In particular, note that the number
377 is illegal. Entering 377 as the station number will automatically
disable the RS– 232–C port of the 1775–KA module, and you will not be
able to enable it again through LIST until you select a different station
number. If you make no selection, the station number will be 377 by
default.

Baud Rate

This option specifies the communication rate over the RS–232–C port.
The choices are:

110 baud

2400 baud

300 baud

4800 baud

600 baud

9600 baud

1200 baud

19200 baud

For long–line communication, the maximum allowed rate is 4800 baud.
The default baud rate is 1200 baud (see Table 2.D).
