Further information about alarm status is delivered by the ION-B Supervision Systems.
TPRF31 Ports
The TPRF31 is provided with a series pf ports which allow for the connection to any external
device. These different ports are described hereinafter.
RS232 Serial Port
The RS232 serial port can be used to connect the TPRN sub-rack to the remote supervision unit
or to a laptop running LMT software. Please note that a standard RS232 cable is needed.
The connection baud rate can be set to 9600bps, 19200bps, 57600bpa, or 115200 bps by
properly setting the dip-switch 6 and 7 standing on the rear panel of the TPRF31 backplane
(fi g. 4.2.6). The baud rate setting through the dip-switches 6 and 7 is shown in Table 4.2.2
the unused TPRF31 slots and of its TFLN ports. This operation should be perfomed during the
initial system installation, after all of the TFLN units which are hosted by the TPRF31 MiniRack
have stopped blinking (i.e., after they have fi nished the discovery phase: see the TFLN section
of this User Manual for further clarifi cation).
The Store/Clear operation must also be perfomed after any change affecting the TPRF slot
confi guration and the used ports on the TFLN transceivers.
When switching on and off the system in any other circumstances, no Store/Clear operation is
normally required.
