ATTENTION: Risk of injury or equipment damage exists. P4 - [Comm Flt Action] lets
you determine the action of the converter and connected SCANport product if
communications are disrupted. By default, this parameter faults the SCANport product.
You can set this parameter so that the SCANport product continues to run. Precautions
should be taken to ensure that the setting of this parameter does not create a hazard of
injury or equipment damage.
!
ATTENTION: Risk of injury or equipment damage exists. If the serial converter is
transmitting control I/O to the SCANport product (indicated by a solid green
diamond LED), the SCANport product may fault when you remove or reset the
serial converter. Determine how your SCANport product will respond before
removing or resetting a connected serial converter.
