RS485/232 Port Configuration

Figure 20: Edit Port Configuration

Edit Protocol Selection: Menu selection 1 allows you to change what serial protocol is running on the selected port. Note that not all ports run the same protocols. Figure 20 shows how to change the protocol selection from the current setting of Metasys N2 to Modbus slave.

Edit Baudrate: Menu selection 2 allows you to change the baudrate for the selected port. Note that the baudrate for some protocols is determined by the specification, and these will therefore ignore this setting.

Edit Parity: Menu selection 3 allows you to change the parity for the selected port. Note that the parity for some protocols is determined by the specification, and these will therefore ignore this setting.

Edit address: Menu selection 4 allows you to edit the network address that the selected port will respond to. This setting is applicable for slave protocols only.

Edit Timeout: Menu selection 5 allows you to edit the timeout time for the selected port. Refer to section 11.2 for more information on timeout processing.
