3. Use the up and down cursor keys to move the cursor to the parameter
you want to change. The current value for each parameter appears in
reverse video.

or right cursor keys. The control scrolls through the available
parameter values as you press the left or right cursor key (or hold).
Important: Select the SERIAL PORT (A or B) first and then select
the DEVICE (see Figure 9.1). All other parameters are
device-dependent.
5. To save the changes made to the communications parameters for a
specific peripheral device, press the {SAVE CHANGE} softkey. The
control displays the message “SAVE COMPLETED.” If the saved
parameters differ from the default parameters for that device, the
message “PARAMETERS DO NOT MATCH THE DEFAULTS”
appears beneath the parameters.
Important: You must save changes made to the parameter values for a
peripheral device before you select another device.
To restore the default parameters for a particular device, select that device
by using the left and right cursor keys, and press the {COPY DEFLTS}
softkey. The message “DEFAULTS LOADED” appears at the top of the
screen.
To exit the device setup screen, press the exit {

} softkey.
Important: When you exit, the serial ports and devices displayed on the
device setup screen become your current settings.
SERIAL PORT (setting of input/output port)
The control has two communication ports: port A and port B. This
parameter selects which of the two ports is going to be modified. Choose
between ports A or B by pressing the left and right cursor keys.
All of the following parameters can be set independently for each
communication port (A or B).
Important: If your system is a 9/230 grinder, it does not have port A. Port
A options discussed in this chapter are not selectable and can not be
configured for a 9/230 grinder.
