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 “ 3” and press ENTER to accept the COM and
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
19200 and press ENTER to accept the value. If there is
no printer connected to the system, a baud rate of 57600
can be selected.
