Basic Set Up Screen

5.1.3.1 Basic Setup

Use the “ComPort” control to select the communication port connected to the I2C adapter. If an iPort/USB or iPort DLL/USB is selected, the serial number for the selected adapter is displayed (Win 2000, XP+ only). In addition to legacy and Virtual RS-232 ports, Message Manager supports USB and network connected local or remote RS-232 ports via the Windows Com driver.

Select from the list of available baud rates. Then click OK.

After a few moments, the Communication Events window on the Main Application screen should report “I2C Open Successful.”

If open is not successful, follow the on-screen instructions. Make sure the communications port is working, is enabled in the Windows Device Manager, and is not being used by other software. Additional communication port open information is available in the log file. See Diagnostic Setup options.
