You will also need to change the serial port configuration of your PC COM port to match that of the Model 24SII's Serial Port Configuration. If you will be using the Model 24SII's factory default Serial Port Configuration (9600 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity), this is accomplished via the following DOS command:
Mode COMx: 9600,n,8,1,P
where x is the number of the appropriate com port. This command should be part of your AUTOEXEC.BAT program.
EXAMPLE: Suppose you are connecting your PC's COM1 port to the Model 24SII DES in serial and you intend to use the RAMEXEC hot key software which has been copied to a subdirectory called BAYTECH. Your AUTOEXEC.BAT program would need contain the following:
.
.
PATH=C:\...;C:\BAYTECH
MODE LPT1: =COM1:
MODE COM1: 9600,N,8,1,P
RAMEXEC
.
.
The vertical dots before the PATH command and after the RAMEXEC command represent other commands that may be part of your AUTOEXEC.BAT file. The horizontal dots shown in the PATH command represent other subdirectories that may be part of the PATH command.
NOTE: The DOS MODE command will support a maximum baud rate of 9600 bps. BayTech supplies a program, SMODE.EXE, which allows you to set your PC com port for serial speeds up to 115,200 bps. Please see Section 4.2 for instructions to obtain the SMODE command from the supplied utility diskette. The instructions for SMODE are contained in the README file created by running the INSTALL program.
