TECHNICAL INSTALLATION AND SET-UP (OPTIONAL)
For ease of use, it is recommended to use the IP-Connect
Software provided to configure the XM500 controller.
However, if desired the XM500 may be configured manually.
The following sections provide the technical details to
configure the XM500 using Windows Terminal program.

Data Line Monitor
For every modem start-up, using a data line monitor is highly
recommended in order to allow checking the communication
and the RS-232 line status during commissioning.
RS-232 Breakout Box
As the XM500 does not provide LED indication of the line
status of TxD, RxD and other control, using a standard
RS-232 breakout box can be helpful.
Setting Up the XM500
1.
Start a terminal program and set it up for 9.600 bps.
2.
Enter <ATEV1><ENTER> and verify that the XM500
returns <OK>.
3.
Enter the commands listed below in order to initialize
the XM500 for the TCP/IP communication between XBS
or L
ON
S
TATION
™ and EXCEL 5000/15 controllers:
a.
lockmem off
: (unlocks nonvolatile memory).
b.
stty xxxxx
: (sets RS-232 Baud Rate to xxxxx bps;
default is 9600 bps; supported baud rates:
2.400/4.800/9.600/19.200/38.400)
IMPORTANT
If baud rates 19.200 and 38.400 bps are to be used
the autobauding MUST be switched <on> after the
TCP/IP initialization has been completed.
c.
ifconfig
160.221.71.130 255.255.252.0
This example is for an IP address 160.221.71.130
with appropriate network mask 255.255.252.0.
(note the blank space between IP address and
network mask).
d.
route add net default
160.221.68.1 1
(Example of a gateway definition)
Please check with the local network administrator if
a gateway definition is necessary. The parameters
are the default gateway address (160.221.68.1) and
the number of hops to the gateway(1). They must be
separated by a space
e.
lockmem on
: (locks nonvolatile memory).
f.
autobaud on
: (enables the XM500 to adapt its serial
baud rate to that of the controller or the workstation
central. This is only needed if baud rates 19.200 and
38.400 bps are to be used for XL50.)
IMPORTANT
• Above user commands can only be recognized by
the XM500 when the autobaud is <off>.
• This means that the autobaud <on> command
MUST be used AFTER the user commands have
been entered.
• If user commands should be changed, then FIRST
autobaud must be set to <off>.
4.
Enter the following AT commands in order to initialize
the XM500 for the required serial behavior.
AT Commands for XM500 Connected to XL5000
Controllers with O.S. 2.01.00 or Later and for
XBS via COM Port
ATE0X1&C1&D1
E0:echo off
(X1: ignore busy signal and dial tone,
&C1: carrier-detect follows connection,
&D1: Hang-up on DTR transition)
AT&W
(save init profile in NVRAM)
AT Commands for XM500 Connected to
Modem Devices XM100A, XDM506 and
for XBS with XPC500 Card
ATE0V0X1&C1&D1
AT&W
(save init profile in NVRAM)
IMPORTANT
• Due to an initialization problem of the XBS for the
XPC500 card, reliable remote communication can
not be granted with XBS 1.4.4 or older in
combination with XPC500.
• It is NOT recommended to use XM500 in
combination with XPC500.
