*1 Set the Host Link baud rate at 9,600 bps or 19,200 bps with the Comm. Speed
memory switch at the NT21. For details, refer to Setting the Host Link Method
(page 125).
*2 The 1-to-N setting enables BCC (Block Check Character). It is not actually
possible to connect more than one NT21 in a single Host Link.
The setting methods for each model of Unit are described below.

Connecting to a CVM1/CV-series Host Link Unit
CVM1/CV-series Rack-mounting model: CV500-LK201
A CVM1/CV-series Host Link Unit (CV500-LK201) has two connectors (commu-
nication ports 1 and 2). To use the RS-422A type Host Link method, set commu-
nication port 2 to RS-422A.
Communication port 2 is a 9-pin connector that allows selection of the RS-232C
or RS-422A method. When this port is used with the RS-422A method, the I/O
port selector switch on the front of the Unit must be set to RS-422A (the lower
position).
CPU Bus Unit Settings
When connecting to a CVM1/CV-series Host Link Unit, set the following commu-
nication conditions for the CPU Bus Unit settings.
