panel. To access the configuration mode of a 4-port
serial module from any host module, use the following
procedure:
1. Configure the host terminal's serial
parameters to match those of the host
module. From the factory, the host module
is set at 9600 baud, 8 bit word size, 1 stop
bit, no parity, and XON/XOFF disabled. If
you do not have a dumb terminal or a
terminal emulation program, BayTech
supplies a utility diskette which includes
software to put an IBM PC or compatible into
a terminal mode (TERM.EXE).
2. Connect to the serial port module by sending
the port select code, the appropriate Unit
Number followed by a colon (1: to 30: - only
if using cascaded units), the desired module
number (1 to 16), and Carriage Return or
Line Feed. For example, if the module is
installed in a unit as Module 2 and you are
using the default port select code ($BT),
send $BT2<cr> from the host device where
<cr> is Carriage Return.
3. Access configuration mode by sending
$CONFIG<cr>.
IMPORTANT: No characters should be typed
between $BT<cr> and $CONFIG<cr>. If this
happens, the entire configuration sequence is
discarded and you will have to send the
configuration sequence again.
NOTE: The procedure to access configuration mode for
the module from the service port is the same as
described above except connect your terminal to the
service port which has a fixed serial configuration of
9600 bps, 8 bit word size, 1 stop bit, and no parity.
