3–4 Message Monitoring
For diagnostic purposes, you may want to monitor message traffic across the RS485 ports. This can be done on a terminal connected to the RS232 port. You may monitor messages on any single RS485 port or on all four ports simultaneously.
Selecting menu item 14 allows you to select whether or not messages are sent to the RS232 port in monitor mode and which RS485 ports are to be monitored. The following prompt appears:
Table 5. RS485 Port Settings .
1.Follow the procedure outlined in Section
2.At the Configuration menu, select the option number, then press <ENTER>. At the prompt, enter the new setting, then press <ENTER>. For options 1, 3, 5, and 7, enter the new setting from the options in Table 5, then press <ENTER>. For options 2, 4, 6, and 8, enter each new parameter as prompted, using the correct entries from Table 5. If you enter an invalid value, the following message display:
Press <ENTER> to return to the Configuration menu.
NOTE: Pressing <ESC> while entering a new value for a
setting discards the changes and redisplays the Configuration menu.
Enter your selection from the above choices.
3–5 Ethernet Driver
Menu item 10 permits the Ethernet driver to be selected. Most systems utilize DIX Ethernet; a handful use IEEE Ethernet. The Gateway defaults to the DIX Ethernet driver. If your network does not
function under DIX Ethernet and you have eliminated all other potential sources of trouble, change the driver setting to IEEE Ethernet and retry communications. If this does not resolve the problem, contact Customer Service.
