7. Select the communications port used to communicate with the RF451/RF452 from the
COM Port list.
8. Accept the default value of 00 seconds in the COM Port Communication Delay - this box is
used to allow time for hardware devices to "wake up" and negotiate a communications link.
Click Next.
9. You do not need to select a baud rate. The PakBus address must match the hardware
settings for your data logger.
10. Click Next.
11. By default, the data logger does not use a security code or a PakBus encryption key.
Therefore, the Security Code can be set to 0, and the PakBus Encryption Key can be left
blank. If either setting has been changed, enter the new code or key.

Previous button to return to a previous window and change the settings.
Setup is now complete. The EZSetup Wizard allows you to Finish, or you may click Next to test
communications, set the data logger clock, and send a program to the data logger.
