7.5.6THE SERIAL PORT AND EDIT MODE SCREENS

Press the Hub’s Down button four times from the Idle Display screen, or once from the System Status screen, to reach the Serial Port screen. The Hub’s serial port doesn’t currently do anything, but when it is enabled by future firmware advances, this is the screen you’ll use to configure it:

***Serial Port*** Baud Rate:57600 Data Bits:8 Parity:No Stop:1

This screen displays the settings that the serial port will require an attached PC to be configured for. Only the baud rate (data rate) is user-configurable. To change the baud rate, press the Hub’s Enter button. The Edit Mode screen appears:

***Edit Mode*** Baud Rate:57600 Data Bits:8 Parity:No Stop:1

Press the Up and Down buttons to toggle between the two available rates: 57,600 bps and 38,400 bps. When the rate you want is displayed, press the Hub’s Enter button to switch to that rate and return to the Serial Port screen, or press the Hub’s Escape button to return to the Serial Port screen without switching to the new rate.

7.5.7THE LINK STATUS, SELECT SLOT, AND SELECT PORT SCREENS

Press the Hub’s Down button five times from the Idle Display screen, or once from the Serial Port screen, to reach the Link Status screen, which displays connection information for one Hub port at a time. (The first time you access this screen after the Hub is powered ON, the information for Port 1 of Slot A will be the first thing shown. Afterward, until the Hub is powered OFF again, Link Status will begin by displaying the information for whatever port was last displayed the previous time you accessed this screen.)

***Link Status*** Slot: A Port: 05 Link: 65-B-12

In this sample screen, Port 5 of the Module in the Hub’s Slot A is connected to Port 12 of a Module in Slot B of another Hub unit with a chassis address of 65.

To view the connections of another Module and port, press the Enter button. The Select Slot screen appears:

Press the Up and Down buttons to select the Hub slot where the Module you want information about is installed. When you’ve made your selection, press the Enter button again. The Select Port screen appears:
