(LIS)
Architecture
The basic architecture is point-to-point communications between LIS and the
DCA Vantage system.
Hardware Link
The hardware link consists of serial asynchronous (RS-232) interface.
Communication is normally full duplex at one of the following user-selected
baud rates:
• 19200
• 9600
• 4800
• 2400
The system interface port is equipped with a 9-pin, D-type, male connector.
The systems are considered to be Data terminal Equipment (DTE). The signal
lines that are supported are listed below.
Character Format
You can select the following character format options when you select the LIS
communication parameters in setup at the DCA Vantage system.
The stop bits are set to 1.
