The ID # Field allows the operator to establish an ID Number for the Operator Serial Interface.
Move the cursor to this field and increment or decrement to change the ID Number. Press
<ENTER> to store the value.
The field for Baud Rate allows the operator to select baud rates from 1200 to 9600 bps. Move
the cursor to this field and increment or decrement the value. Depress <ENTER> to store the
value and reinitialize the serial port.
Note: Serial data format is fixed to provide 8 data bits, 1 start bit, 1 stop bit, no parity.
The Echo Field is for the Operator Serial Port Interface. When the Echo is in the On State, the
converter will echo all the data it receives back to the Host Terminal. When more than one
converter is connected to the same bus (RS-485), the Echo must be Off. Move the cursor to this
field to change the Echo On/Off Status. Press <ENTER> to store the value.
