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

Driver options include serial and RSLinx ports. When selecting a
driver, Serial 1 and Serial 2 are available to communicate directly
with the PanelView terminal serial port, or with a 1770-KF2/KE
or 1770 KFC, without using RSLinx. The other driver selections
need RSLinx, which can be installed on the computer being used.

Before the RSLinx driver appears in 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, click 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. Select the Configure Driver button.

If you have selected an RSLinx port, choosing the Configure
Driver button opens 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 PanelView terminal. The default setting is
9600.
