Setup Software Operating Procedure

3.2.1 Operating procedure

To set up the N-400 using the setup software, follow the procedure below.

1. Connect the N-400 to the host computer using the RS-232C cable.

For the recommended cable, see 2.2.2 Connecting RS-232C.

2. Start the N-400 setup software.

3. Select a setup item, and set it to the desired condition.

4. Before sending the updated settings to the N-400, click on [COM PORT] to

match the communication parameters of the personal computer with the current
settings of the N-400.

The default settings of the N-400 are as follows:
• Baud rate: 9600 bit/s
• Data length: 7 bit
• Parity: Even
• Stop bit length: 1 bit

Immediately after you purchase the N-400, set [COM PORT] to the above
settings.
If you do not know the current settings of the N-400, press the N-400 test switch
for approximately 5 seconds. When the N-400 displays “S0(

50

)”, the N-400 is

automatically set to the above settings. The N-400 can communicate with the
host computer if the “COM PORT” settings are same as the above.

5. Click on [Transfer] to send the updated settings to the N-400.

(The current settings of the N-400 can also be read.)
