2.5 Configuring ADAM-4550
1.
Insert the ADAM-4550 disk in drive A. Start
Microsoft Windows 95/98. Go to the Start
Menu and choose Run.
Type a:\ADAM4550 and press ENTER. The
ADAM Configuration and Diagnostics win-
dow should now open.
2. You must now set the host computer’s port
configuration before configuring your
ADAM-4550. To configure your host com-
munication port, select the Setting... menu
and choose Local. A dialog box will open.
Select the proper COM port that is con-
nected to the ADAM-4550 and set the baud
rate to 9600. Click the OK button.
3.
Connect your PC’s RS-232 serial port to
ADAM-4550’s RS-232 port. Connect the
INIT pin with the ADAM-4550’s ground pin.
Turn on the power. The unit is now in con-
figuration mode. The yellow LED light should
blink slowly.
4.
You must now search your unit for its cur-
rent settings. To do this, select the Set-
ting... menu and choose Get. Enter a start-
ing address into the dialog box or use the
default start address 0. Click the OK but-
ton. The configuration software will scan
the unit for the address by matching the
unit’s address with each address number
between the starting address and 255. If
the unit’s address is found, its ID address,
baud rate and delimiter settings will be dis-
played.
5.
You may now change the settings. To
change the configuration, select the Set-
ting... menu and choose Set. A dialog box
will open. Enter the new configuration set-
tings (new address, identification, new baud
rate, master/slave) and click the OK button.
Follow the procedure in the Search sec-
tion to get the new desired configurations.
