Installing Hardware Options
The sensor readings associated with the device will appear in the
Basic and Advanced Views once you have completed installation.
Note:
If, after you have installed and configured your RS232-based
sensor, you later choose to uninstall the sensor, replace it with a
different serial device, or move the sensor to a different serial
port, you must perform a simple uninstall procedure using the
Advanced View Serial devices task before connecting a new serial
device to the previously used serial port. Failure to follow this
procedure will result in your appliance becoming unstable. For
more information, see “Reassigning Serial Ports” on page 63.
Reassigning Serial Ports
Once you have connected a serial device (such as a modem or an
RS232-based sensor) to a serial port, and have configured your
WallBotz 500 to use that device, your appliance will expect that
only the specified device type will be connected to that serial
port. If you decide to remove a serial device from a serial port,
move a serial device from one serial port to a different serial port,
or disconnect a device and replace it with a different serial device
(for example, if you decide to disconnect your ChemSentry and
replace it with a NMEA-compliant GPS receiver), you must
perform a simple uninstall procedure using the Advanced View
Serial devices task before connecting the new serial device to the
serial port. Failure to follow this procedure will result in your
appliance becoming unstable.
To switch serial devices on a serial port:
1.
Power off your appliance.
2.
Disconnect the serial device from the serial port, and then
restore power to your appliance.
3.
Open the Advanced View
Serial Devices
task, set the
Device Type
for the serial port from which you
disconnected the serial device to “None,” and click
OK
.
4.
Connect the new serial device to the serial port. If you’re
connecting a PC Card, be sure to power off the appliance
again before inserting the PC Card, and then power the
appliance on again.
