Publication 2755-833
You will need a computer terminal or a personal computer with
terminal emulation software (such as PROCOMM

) and an RS-232
cable. Lists of compatible terminals appear in Figures 4.7 and 4.8.
Wiring information appears in Appendix D. See Chapters 5 through
14 for more detail on using a terminal to configure the decoder and
monitor operations.
Connect AUX Terminal
Connect your terminal’s RS-232 serial port to the AUX port of the
2755-DS or -DD decoder
➀
To make easy connection to the NEMA
Type 4 decoders, a 3.03 meter (10 foot) cable is available (Cat. No.
2755-CT1).
Set Communication Parameters
Set the terminal’s serial port parameters to 9600 Baud, 8 Data Bits, 1
Stop Bit, No Parity (Parity = None).
Apply Power and Select Language
Turn the decoder on. The decoder will send the Select Language
screen to the terminal. If the screen does not appear, then press the
ESC key on your terminal. The Communications LED on the
decoder should light momentarily, and the decoder will resend the
Select Language screen. If the LED does not light when you press
ESC , verify the terminal’s communications settings and all
connections.
➀ The AUX port supports a terminal for either configuring the decoder or for man
entry. For information on use of the AUX port for manual data entry, consult Cha
