Optional Serial Interface
Note: Models with product numbers ending in “A” have been factory-set for RS-232; those
ending in “F” were set for RS-485. If you wish to convert an “A” model to an “F” model or
vice versa, refer to “Setting the Serial Port Configuration Switch” on page 9.
Establishing Serial Communication
Serial communication requires a terminal
emulation or communication software (such
as HyperTerminal
® , included with Windows ® )
running on a PC-compatible computer. Set
the serial port at 9600 baud, no parity, 8 data
bits, 1 stop bit, no hardware or software
handshaking.
With the software running, check the bi-direc-
tional communication link between the keyboard/monitor
of the computer and the serial port by typing /?<enter>. If
the link is functioning, the following menu will appear on
your monitor:
