Setup Network
Setting up network port sets up communication parameters
between LectroCount DMS i1000 and LectroCount
electronic register.
Port is used to select the port and interrupt request line
used by the active network. Press
ENTER to open a list
box window for
Communications Port. The following
options will be available:
COM1
COM2
COM3
COM4
Use Base Address of UART
A standard DMS i1000 Module is wired to communicate
with the LCR network on COM2, IRQ3, at a baud rate of
19200, therefore select
COM2 and press ENTER. This will
open another list box window. The new list box window is
for selecting the
IRQ used by the port. This list box window
contains interrupt request (IRQ) values between
2 and 15.
Select IRQ “

IRQ choices and return to
SETUP NETWORK PORT.
The changes for
Port are now displayed on the screen.
Move pointer to
Bits/Second (baud rate) and press
ENTER. This opens the Bits/Second list box window.
This value is the baud rate used to communicate with the
network of LectroCount registers. The following options
are available:
2400
4800
9600
19200
57600
It is recommended to use a baud rate of
19200. Select
