Paradise 205486 REV F manual Communication Setup sub menu

11.1.1.6 Communication Setup sub menu

This menu allows the user to select the parameters for communication between the SSPA and the remote monitor and control station. All changes made on this menu will take effect only after a hardware reset of the SSPA controller card. This can be accomplished by either cycling the SSPA AC power or selecting the menu item from Terminal mode “Options” “Reset” menu item.

Protocol

This selection allows the user to change the SSPA default serial protocol setting. “Binary” protocol will force the SSPA to use the protocol version compatible with earlier Compact Outdoor SSPAs (those with a serial number below 100 000). “String” is the default protocol for the current version of the Compact Outdoor SSPA. “Terminal” allows supporting TMSP.

Baud Rate

This item allows the user to select the desired baud rate for serial communication. Available baud rates include 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200 and 38400 Baud. The factory default baud rate is 9600.

System Address

This selection allows the user to set the network address of the controller if used on a RS-485 network. Choose from 1 to 255. The address 170 shouldn’t be selected, because it is reserved for global calls.
