The STB NIP 2212 NIM

The CFG Interface

Purpose	The CFG port is the connection point to the island bus for either a computer running
	the Advantys configuration software or an HMI panel.
Physical	The CFG interface is a front-accessible RS-232 interface located behind a hinged
Description	flap on the bottom front of the NIM:

The port uses a male eight-pin HE-13 connector.

Port Parameters The CFG port supports the set of communication parameters listed in the following table. If you want to apply any settings other than the factory default values, you must use the Advantys configuration software:

Parameter	Valid Values	Factory Default Settings
bit rate (baud)	2400 / 4800 / 9600 / 19200 /	9600
	38400/ 57600
data bits	7/8	8
stop bits	1/2	1
parity	none/odd/even	even
Modbus communications mode	RTU/ASCII	RTU

Note: To restore all of the CFG port’s communication parameters to their factory default settings, push the RST button (See The RST Button, p. 55) on the NIM. Be aware, however, that this action will overwrite all of the island’s current configuration values with factory default values.

You can also password protect a configuration, thereby putting the island in protected mode (See Protecting Configuration Data, p. 164). If you do this, however, the RST button will be disabled and you will not be able to use it to reset the port parameters.
