INSTALLATION AND SETUP • RS-232 MENU

RS-232 Menu

There are four submenus under the RS-232 Menu (see figure at right):

Baud Rate, Flow Control, Enable Modem, and Clear Password.

Baud Rate

This parameter allows you to set the PSR1212’s baud rate to 9.6kbps,

19.2kbps, 38.4kbps, 57.6 kbps, or 115.2kbps. Default is 38.4kbps.

Select the baud rate you wish to use, then press ENTER.

Flow Control (hardware)

The Flow Control options are On and Off. The PSR1212 will use the RTS

and CTS pins on the port to regulate the transmission and reception of

data. When None is selected, the PSR1212 ignores flow control, making

the connected device ensure that data is not lost. Software flow control

(Xon/Xoff) is not provided. Default is On.

Modem Mode

This parameter configures the RS-232 port for connection of a modem.

When On is selected, the PSR1212 will send an initialization string to

the modem on power-up and require a password before data transfer is

allowed through the port. When Off is selected, the password is

disabled and the port is left in a passive mode. Default is Off.

The modem configuration must be performed as follows:

1. Forced connect speed must match that of the PSR1212.

2. Echo must be turned off.

3. Response mode must be turned off (i.e., no OK messages, Ring, etc.).

4. Auto answer must be enabled.

5. Caller must select the baud rate of the local PSR1212 for the mode

rate.
