Setting 

The “Setting” button brings up the communication configuration menu with the following 
controls: 

 

 

The “Get” button reads the connected device’s ID 
number. 

 

The “Set” button assigns a new device ID number 
to the connected device. 

 

The “Rename” button opens up the String Table 
menu which allows you to assign custom names to 
inputs and outputs within the software. 

 

The “Ethernet” section allows the user to read and 
write Ethernet settings from/to the unit. Ethernet 
setting changes must be made while under RS-
232 control. Select the “Write To Device” button to 
store your setting changes. 

 

The “Communication” section allows the user to 
select between RS-232 and Ethernet control. 

 

NOTE: After making changes to the Ethernet settings the user must power cycle the unit for the new settings to become 
effective. If the unit receives commands from both Ethernet and RS-232 ports at the same time the Ethernet commands 
will have priority.

 

 
Scan 

The “Scan” button brings up the Serial Port Scan menu which allows the user to scan the 
computer’s COM ports for connected units. 
 

 

The “Select” section allows you to manually select 
the COM port and Device ID of the unit you wish to 
control.  

 

The “Scan” button will cause the software to scan all 
available COM ports and display which ports have 
connected devices. 

 

After you have selected the device you wish to 
control, click on “OK” to finalize your selection. 

 

NOTE: Selecting Device ID 255(Super) will cause the software to send 
commands that will affect units with any Device ID on the selected COM port.
