SERIAL PORT CONFIGUR
ATION SCREEN
Besides processing alarms and pulse data the
CNI2
can act as a “transparent” modem. This
allows the
central computer to communicate directly with a device connected to the
CNI2
’s RS
-
232 serial port. An option board called the Dual Port Multiplexer allows a second port to be
added. Future expansion boards will offer even more ports.
Serial Port Co
nfiguration Screen
Port Select
ID
Each serial port must be assigned a unique
Port Select ID
number. The format follows that of
the Primary RUID discussed earlier. Serial Port
-
1 is the physical port TB2 on the
CNI2
board
and
is automatically set to
the
Primary RUID. Its Port Select ID is grayed out and cannot be
changed.
Port Enable
Check the
Port Enabled
box to turn on a serial port.
Ports must be enabled in ascending order
starting with Port
-
1. For instance if Port
-
1 is enabled, and then you skip
to Port
-
4 and enable it,
this will automatically enable Ports
-
2 and 3 as well. Conversely if Ports 1 thru 4 are enabled
and you disable Port
-
2, this will automatically disable Ports
-
3 and 4 as well.
Max BPS. Data Bits, Parity, Stop Bits
These parame
ters must match the settings of the device connected to
each
serial port.
