4.2 DATAKEY PARAMETERS
4.2.1 DATAKEY PARAMETER PROGRAMMING
The 2018KCL is configured using a removable nonvolatile memory device called a
Datakey
tm
(Datakey is a trademark of Datakey Electronics, Inc.). The Datakey replaces the
mechanical jumpers, DIP switches, and diode based program card used in conventional
signal monitors and provides an interchangeable and electronic method of programming
the unit. The Datakey itself is programmed by a separate programming tool using a
Personal Computer program such as the Eberle Design
MonitorKey
®
product. See the
Eberle Design
MonitorKey
®
Operations Manual
for further details.
4.2.2 MONITORKEY CONFIGURATION SET-UP WIZARD
The Set-up Wizard in the
MonitorKey
®
program can be used to automatically generate all
the enhanced monitor programming data for the 2018KCL in most cases without the need
for understanding complex and confusing monitor terminology. It configures the monitor
enhanced-feature programming parameters using a simple series of intersection related
questions.
4.2.3 UNIT DATA PARAMETERS
4.2.3.1 EIA-232 COMM PORT SETTINGS (2018KCL)
The baud rate and parity settings for the EIA-232 port are set in the Datakey. The DTR
Enable function is not supported in the 2018KCL model. These settings can be temporarily
overridden by the
ECcom
program. If the 2018KCL is reset or powered up, the Datakey
settings will be restored.
4.2.3.1.1 EIA-232 CABLE
A typical cable assembly for a DB-9 connector on the PC would be a straight through
connection see Section
Error! Reference source not found.
.
4.2.3.2 ETHERNET COMM PORT SETTINGS (2018KCLIP)
The Ethernet port must be configured with specific network parameters such as an IP
address. The network port parameters are set or changed using the EDI
ECcom
Signal
Monitor Communications software. See the "
EDI ECcom Software Operations Manual
"
for details on the SETUP / COMM PORT / SETTINGS /
Search
function.
The factory default network settings are: IP Address = 192.168.1.100 and Subnet Mask =
255.255.255.0
4.2.3.2.1 ETHERNET LAN CABLE
The LAN cable required is a typical Cat-5 network cable using the 8 pin RJ-45 connector. If
the connection is from the monitor to a switch or hub, a standard LAN cable is needed. If
the connection is from the monitor directly to a network adaptor (PC), a cross-over or patch
cable is needed.
4.2.3.3 MINIMUM FLASH INTERVAL
The minimum flash interval is set to None, or a value from 4 seconds to a maximum of 10
seconds. See section 2.5.1.
