Sending/Receiving Settings

Sending updated settings to the N-400

To send updated settings to the N-400, perform the following procedure.

1. Press and hold the N-400 test switch for five seconds. When the N-400 displays

“S0 (

50

)”, the communication parameters are temporarily set as follows:

Baud rate: 9600 bits/s

Step bit length: 1 bit

Data length: 7 bits

PLC link: Disabled

Parity: Even

If you know the current communication parameter settings of the N-400, this step is
not necessary. You can send data to the N-400 by setting the communication
parameters of the host computer using [COM PORT] so that they conform to the
current settings of the N-400. However, if PLC link is enabled, you cannot send
data to the N-400 without performing this step because the handshaking protocol is
set for PLC link only.

2. Click on [COM PORT] to set the communication parameters of the host com-

puter according to the values listed in the step 1. (above procedure). Select an
RS-232C port, and click on [OK].

3. Click on [Send setting (Save in N-400 EEP-ROM]. The updated settings are

then sent to the N-400.
