This mode forces the selected port to adopt speed, protocol and address parameters that match the
settings needed for the MasterTools utility. MasterTools runs on a PC and allows the master station
settings to be modified using a PC screen and keyboard. In addition MasterTools will record all the
settings present and those of the attached field units. Tags for all devices can be set with the utility.
Select the port to use bearing in mind that the PC probably requires RS232 communications. The
hardware connection to the master station must still match the PC. This means that for direct
communication Port 2 (the RS232 port) should be used.
