Set Serial Port
The NOVA V1400 includes two alarm serial ports, J11 and J12, located on the V1400X-AC-M Alarm Control
rear panel. These RS-232 ports may be connected to serial line printers in order to provide automatic alarm
reports or they may be connected to host computers. If connected to host computers, you may not use the
whole set of command codes discussed in
NOVA V1400 Host Computer Interface Software Instruction
Manual XX010 , but you may use the alarm set and alarm reset commands for all 2048 alarms. Note that this
means you cannot acknowledge a command using the J11 and J12 serial ports. The host port may use all RS-
232 commands (the host port, a third RS-232 port, is discussed in
Configure Host Port on page 7).
