To select the driver:
1. Select the driver. To open a list of available drivers, click on the
arrow to the right of the Driver field.
Note: Serial 1 and Serial 2 drivers are provided by the transfer
utility and enable you to configure two different serial setups (for
example, baud rates). Also, they can accommodate the two
communication ports on many computers. Refer to the physical
communication ports on your computer to determine the correct
port for your application.
Driver options include serial, INTERCHANGE, and
WINtelligent LINX ports. When selecting a driver, the Serial 1
and 2 physical communication ports are available to communicate
directly to the PanelView terminal serial port. The other driver
selections need either INTERCHANGE or WINtelligent LINX,
which must be installed on the computer being used. The
appropriate drivers will be made available.
Driver options are Serial 1 or Serial 2. When selecting a driver,
the Serial 1 and 2 physical communication ports are available to
communicate directly to the PanelView terminal serial port. The
other driver selections need RSLinx, which must be installed on
the computer being used. You must have configured the RSLinx
driver before it appears in the driver list. To configure an RSLinx
driver, you must bring up the RSLinx application by pressing
Setup or Start in the upload, upload alarm history, or download
dialog boxes in the FTU32 application. You can also access the
RSLinx application in the status bar on the host computer.
2. Select the Setup button.
If you have selected an INTERCHANGE port, selecting the
Setup button opens the INTERCHANGE Device Configuration
Utility. For information about configuring INTERCHANGE
ports, refer to the INTERCHANGE Device Configuration Utility
User Manual (Publication Number 5850-6.5.7).
