4.1.1 Channel operation in interlocking mode
In interlocking mode, channels RS-232C and RS-422 are operated as interlocked with each other. In other words,
the data received via channel RS-232C is sent via channel RS-422, and the data received via channel RS-422 is
sent via channel RS-232C in reverse.
In interlocking mode, main channel is automatically set to RS-232C, data is transmitted/received via channel RS-
232C only, and the data is received via channel RS-422 is automatically sent via channel RS-232C without receiving
into Cnet I/F module.

Remark
[
Note1] In interlocking mode, data is transmitted/received in accordance with setting values of channel RS-
232C transmission spec. and the transmission spec. of RS-422 can be ignored.
[Note2] In interlocking mode, modem can not be connected to RS-232C. During connecting modem, it must
be used only after setting to the stand-alone mode. In case that modem is set to be used in
interlocking mode, channel RS-232C is operated as in null modem mode.
[Note3] GM6 and GM7 series don’t support interlocking mode
