second. To change the transmission speed, select a protocol that uses the desired
speed.
Important:
High speed settings are a major cause of WITS transmission errors. For WITS, Pason
recommends using a speed of 9600 bits per second. If you experience errors when using WITS,
try decreasing the transmission speed.
Follow the steps below to configure the assigned WITS comm port protocol if you
connected the WITS device to the TPC via a COMM022:
1. From the EDR main screen click
Menu
>
Setup
>
Comm Ports
. The Comm Port
Setup screen opens.
2. Select the assigned comm port and use the
Toggle
Next
button to scroll through
the list of available protocols until the desired protocol is listed under Configured
Protocol.
3. Click
Exit
to save the settings.
4.4 Setting the Send/Receive Mode
How you connect the WITS device to the Pason system determines which Send/Receive
options are available.
Send/Receive Options for WITS Connections to a DHC, Workstation, SideKick, or
UJB
DHC, Workstation, SideKick, and UJB hardware is hard-coded to send and receive, so
you cannot use send only mode or receive only mode when you connect to a WITS
device via these devices. With these setups, the handshaking procedure on page 14
instructs the EDR how to communicate with the WITS device.
Send/Receive Options for WITS Connections via Toolpush Connection Box or
Network Panel
If you connected the WITS device to one of these panels with a COMM022, you can set
the EDR to send WITS data, to receive WITS data, or to send and receive WITS data.
Once you have connected to the TPC via a comm box and have established a
handshake as described in
Establishing and Maintaining WITS Communication
14, follow the procedure below to set up whether the EDR sends, receives, or sends and
receives WITS data through the assigned comm port:
1. From the EDR main screen on the RMPC, click
Menu
>
Setup
>
Comm Ports.
