26 Chapter 2: Expansion Bus & LCD Programming

These options are described in the following sections.

RS-232

There are two parameters in the RS-232 menu: Baud Rate and Flow Control. To change these settings, use the

following procedure

Use the Menu Dial to highlight Baud Rate or Flow Control

Press the Select button

Select the desired value using the Menu Dial

Press the Select button to set the selected value

Press the Esc button to return to the Settings menu

You can also use the Comm tab of the Unit Properties screen in Console to change these settings.

Baud Rate

This parameter allows you to set the baud rate to 9.6kbps, 19.2kbps, 38.4kbps, or 57.6kbps. Default is 57.6 kbps.

Select the baud rate you want to use, then press the Select button. A message appears on the LCD display

indicating the change is in progress, and another indicating the change is complete. When finished, the display

returns to the RS-232 sub-menu.

Flow Control (Hardware)

Converge Pro devices use the RTS and CTS pins on the RS-232 port to regulate the transmission and reception

of data. You can enable or disable flow control on the front panel of unit and select the flow control type in the Site

Properties window of Console.

If you select On (default) from the front panel LCD menu, select Hardware as the flow control type in the Site

Properties window. If you disable flow control on the front panel, select None in the Site Properties window. When

None is selected, Converge Pro units ignore flow control, and the connected external control device ensures that

data is not lost. All Converge Pro devices support software flow control (Xon/Xoff), but you should only use it with a

pass-through external device such as a modem.

NOTE: ClearOne recommends that you leave Flow Control enabled. To avoid communication

errors, ClearOne strongly recommends that you connect all DB9 pins and enable flow

control when connecting to a PC.

Network

The Network submenu displays the unit name, DID (Device ID), IP address, Gateway, and Subnet Mask settings

for the Converge Pro unit. You cannot change any of these settings from the Network submenu. Use the Unit

Properties screen in the Console software to change these settings.

DID

The DID submenu allows you to select a Device ID for the Converge Pro unit. Select the DID you want to use, press

the Select button. Answer Yes to the prompt to change the DID, or No to keep the existing setting.

You can also use the Comm tab of the Unit Properties screen in Console to change this setting.

Default

Default restores ALL settings to their factory default values. Answer Yes to the prompt to restore default settings, or

No to retain the existing custom settings.

Contrast

Contrast allows you to change the LCD contrast level. Use the Menu Dial to adjust the contrast level, then press

the Select button to save it.
