Coretec VCX-7401, Installation And Operating Instructions Manual

Page: 26 / 38

COM Port Setup
The VCX-7401 supports one sub-channel that allows two-way transmission of
serial data to selected target devices. The sub-channel can be configured for either
RS232 or RS422 operation. It is not necessary for both ends to use the same
configuration. The following is a list of the configuration items for the sub-channel:
Channel Enable
Baud rate
Parity
IP address of target
TCP port for operation
RS422 or RS232
COM <0|1>
This command sets the active state of the com port. The parameter is “0” or “1”, where
“1” enables and “0” disables the com port function. At this time, the com port is always
enabled and this command has no effect.
Default: 0 (OFF)
Example Commands:
COM 1
(enables com port 1)
COM BAUD <Comm Port Baud Rate>
This command sets the baud rate for the comm port. Valid values are 2400,
4800, 9600, 19200, and 38400. Other data rates may be functional but are not tested.
Default: 9600
Example Command:
COMBAUD 4800
(sets baud rate for com port at 4800 bps)
COM PARITY <O|E|N>
The parity for the com port can be set to Odd, Even, or None. The parameters for
the COM[1|2]PARITY command are N,O,E, which correspond respectively to None,
Odd, Even.
Default: None
Example Command:
COMPARITY N
(sets com port to no parity)
COM IP <Com Port IP>
The IP address of the destination for the com port data is set by this command. A
typical setup would have an encoder and a decoder. The decoder would have a com port
IP address that is the same as the encoder. In addition, likewise, the encoder’s com port
IP would be the same as the decoder. Notice that the default com ports IP’s are the
opposite of the default device IP’s.
Default:
