Configuring Communications Settings for 1000e/1200e/1400e Application Transfers

Before the RSLinx driver appears on the driver list, you must first
configure the RSLinx driver, and then refresh the list of available
drivers. To configure an RSLinx driver, you must start RSLinx by
clicking the Invoke RSLinx button. To refresh the list of available
drivers, choose the Refresh List button.

Note: Serial 1 and Serial 2 drivers 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.

3. Choose the Configure Driver button.

If you have selected an RSLinx port, choose the Configure Driver
button to open the RSLinx utility. When you return to the Transfer
Utility, choose the Refresh List button to refresh the list of
drivers. Refer to the RSLinx user documentation for information
on using the utility.

If you have selected Serial 1 or Serial 2, the Communication
Driver Configuration dialog box appears.

4. Define the settings in the Communication Driver Configuration

dialog box as follows:

Baud
Specify the data-transfer rate between your computer and the
1770-KF2/KE or 1770-KFC. This must match the baud rate
configured for the 1770-KF2/KE or 1770-KFC. The default
setting is 9600.

Port
Specify COM1, COM2, COM3, or COM4 as the serial port used
to connect the serial cable to the 1770-KF2/KE or 1770-KFC.
The default setting is COM1.
