Defining the serial and Ethernet (LAN) port parameters
For any sensor interface to work, the communication parameters must be set up correctly.
The SN90 software automatically scans the Processor Unit to locate and identify
the available communication ports. Once the software has established a list of valid
interfaces, you can set up and control the communication parameters.
Prerequisites
This procedure assumes that:
• You have a vacant interface port on your Processor Unit.
• You are familiar with NMEA and other relevant datagram formats.
• You know how to set up the parameters for serial and local area network (LAN)
communication.
