Modifying the Online Communication

Configuration

Select Communication from the Setup menu to choose the method

you want to use to communicate with racks. The Communication

Setup dialog box will be displayed. You can choose either

communication via the serial port on the AutoMax Processor or

communication via the PC Link module.
If you want to use a serial port for communication (the default), you

must specify the port number (1 [default] or 2) and the baud rate

(1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200 [default]).
If you want to use a PC Link module for communication, you must

specify the drop number (1Ć55), the base memory address (D000

[default], D400, D800, DC00), and the port address (250H [default])

for the PC Link module. These parameters must match the

parameters set when you installed the PC Link module in the

personal computer (see J2Ć3011). The PC Link module will be

configured with a drop depth of 1. If there is more than one PC Link

module in the personal computer, AutoMax will use the one whose

base memory address and port address match the addresses

entered in the Communication setup.

5.5.4

Modifying the Print Configuration

Select Print from the Setup menu to make changes to the printer

configuration. The Print Setup dialog box will be displayed. You can

make changes to the following fields. If no changes are made, the

default settings will be used. Note that duplex printing (selected on

the Printers Configuration screen using the Windows Control Panel)

is supported.
