SeaI/O Manual

The broadcast feature sets the Ethernet SeaI/O (E-series) module‟s TCP/IP to RS-485
translation data rate independently of the SeaI/O module itself. If you set the data rate to
115.2K bps via a MaxSSD broadcast command, both the RS-485 port and the Ethernet port
will respond thereafter to 115.2K bps, as expected. However, if you reset the SeaI/O
module, by rotating the rotary switch clockwise one complete revolution, the RS-485 port
will reset to 9600 bps and no parity, but the Ethernet port will remain unaffected. To
restore communications, broadcast another set data rate and parity command (9600 and no
parity) via MaxSSD.
