Configuring a DL5 Slave
Message Display 1. Connect the DL5 Slave to a communication port on your computer or
programming terminal. Use cable (Catalog No. 2706-NC13) for
standard 9-pin connections or cable (catalog No. 2706-NC12) for 25-pin
connections. Page 3-1 lists the available programming cables for other
configurations.
2. Set the programming terminal for the following:
– 9600 baud (see Important below)
– 8 data bits
– no parity
– 1 stop bit
– flow control (None)
Important: Some terminals require that the terminal be reset (or switched
to the ‘Operate’ state) before changes to a communication protocol takes
affect. In addition, the DL5 Slave may have been previously configured
with a different baud rate. The DL5 Slave displays its baud rate during the
power-up sequence. Make sure the programming terminal is set to match.
3. Check the Operate / Configure switch on the back of the DL5 Slave. The
switch in position 1 should be in the down (Configure) position.
4. Apply power to the DL5 Slave.
The power-up sequence, described in Chapter 2, is displayed.
5. Respond to each prompt by pressing the [Y], [N] or [Space Bar] keys.
