MULTISERVER 500

In addition to performing all of the functions from
the LCD/keypad, you can also do the same thing
with an asynchronous terminal connected to the
Command Port (with the exception of setting the
device number). This section describes how to
configure and strap the Command Port and how to
connect the asynchronous terminal to the
Command Port.
Once you’ve configured the Command Port and
connected the asynchronous terminal, you can use
the Command Port to configure and monitor the
Multiserver 500. See
Section 6.3
for default details.
5.1 Factory Defaults
The factory defaults of the Command Port are as
follows:
Data Rate:
Automatic Baud Rate
(ABR)
Number of Data Bits:
8
Parity:
None
Number of Stop Bits:
1
Flow Control:
None
Device Number:
0
Local Echo:
Enabled
If your terminal meets all of the above parameters
(with the exception of device number), including
any of the compatible ABR rates, your Command
Port is ready for operation. ABR is compatible with
1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, and 19,200 bps.
Otherwise, the Command-Port parameters must
be reconfigured from the LCD/keypad, as shown in
Figure 5-1.
