EZ Link Configuration
The indicator’s communications port 2 [Com Port 2] defaults to 9600 baud, 8 bits, no parity.
The EZ Link program defaults to the same values. If the defaults have not been changed, then
configuration is not required. Check the indicator’s Com Port 2 parameters.
Parameter 25 Serial Port 2: Mode
Mode Number Mode Description
1 7 data bits, no parity
2 7 data bits, even parity
3 7 data bits, odd parity
4 8 data bits, no parity
5 8 data bits, even parity
6 8 data bits, odd parity
Parameter 26 Serial Port 2: Baud Rate
Baud Number Baud Description
1 9600 Baud
2 4800 Baud
3 2400 Baud
4 1200 Baud
5 300 Baud
6 150 Baud
Configure the EZ Link communication parameters to the same values as the indicator’s
communication parameters.
1. Double-click on the EZ Link Icon (located in the EZ Link directory) to start the EZ Link
program.
2. In the Utilities menu, select Setup PC Com Port Parameters. The PC Com Port Setup
menu is activated.
3. Select the port number that the communications cable is attached to.
4. Select the same baud rate, parity, data bits, and stop bits that are set into the indicator.
5. Enter the setup parameters below.
