F63, Set Up Communications

The X76CTM has two serial ports that can be
assigned to support different protocols. They are
not totally interchangeable. Com 1 (J1) is used pri-
marily as a remote access setup port. The only
exception to this use is when the port is being used
as a Ronan X110 interface. The second port Com 2
(J3) is designed to support various protocols.

To set up ports, select Function 63. Select the port
to be configured using the [HI] and [LO] keys.

Set up comport 0
Com 1

Select the port protocol. The X76CTM will assume
the default values for the next parameters, but it is
possible to change them.

Select the connection type:

Connection type 1

The three possible choices are:

Computer

. This means connection will be made

with null modem cable and no hardware handshake
will be applied.

Modem

. If chosen, the X76CTM will try to initial-

ize the modem.

RS485

. This assumes the Ronan supplied

RS485 adapters are present, and a multidrop con-
nection will be used.

Select the baud rate using the [HI], [LO] keys.

Speed 9600 bps
HI,LO

Select the bits per character. Only 7 and 8 are
available.

Character bits 8

Select the parity using the [HI], [LO] keys. Choices
are odd, even, or none.

Parity = None
HI, LO

If the protocol selected is for daisychaining multiple
X76CTM’s, like MODBUS™, or TM2000 emulation,
enter the network address of the X76CTM.

62, Enter Current Code For:

To make a change to the PIN code, use Function
62. For security purposes, the X76CTM is designed
so that only the administrator can change user
codes. To change the code of another user, the
administrator must first log in. At the default display,
press the user number to be changed. A message
will appear requesting the PIN code of the specific
user. Ignore this message.

Enter PIN code for:
User 4 >_

To change, press Function 62 again, and a prompt
for entering the new PIN code will appear. For
security purposes, during the new entry, the real
digits are substituted with asterisks (*) on the dis-
play. The requirement for the PIN code entry is
numeric only. Up to six digits can be entered. Press
[ENT.] to make the changes active.

New PIN code for:
User 4 >******_
