independently. However, as their operation is
identical, their parameters are set similarly.
Figure 12. Serial Port Settings
The navigation and setting of the fields can be done
the same way as it is described at the CPM Option
settings.
Port Function
This option selects the basic behavior of the given
port. There are two options available:
REPORT
In report mode, the events are
reported via the port to the PC.
RECEIVE
In receive mode, the port can be
used to connect to other receivers
and receive messages from them.
The default setting for COM A is Report Mode, and
for COM B is Receive Mode.
NOTE:
The remote programming features do not
depend on the selected port function, so that serial
programming access is possible either for report or
receive mode ports.
Report Option
This setting selects the protocol set for Report Mode
serial port. The options are:
COMPATIBLE
In this case, the serial protocols
used are compatible with the
Enigma XM88422 and SurGard
MLR2 DG receivers.
E2 CUSTOM
The E2 protocol set utilizes the
possibilities in the new reception
features of the Enigma 2
receiver, however, they might not
be compatible with all automation
software.
The default setting is Compatible Mode. For detailed
specifications of Compatible Serial Protocols, please,
refer to the Serial Protocols section.
Port Settings
Here the asynchronous protocol for the serial port is
set – port speed, number of databits and parity. The
port speed can be set between 300 and 57600 bps,
the number of databits can be set to 7 or 8, and the
parity can be choosen as none, even or odd.
The default setting is 9600, 8 databits, no parity.
NOTE:
The number of stopbits is always set to 1.
This option is not changeable.
Receiver Number
In multi-receiver environments the automation
software might have to be able to separate events by
receivers. The receiver number identifies the receiver
for the computer – the value can be set between 1
and 255 and has to be unique. The default setting is
01 for COM A and 02 for COM B.
Clock Signal
The insertion of the Clock Signal Protocol can be
turned on and off here. The Clock Signal Protocol is
used to transmit time and date information together
with the event to the computer. The default setting is
off. The Clock Signal Protocol can also be
programmed to transmit the year or the second of the
event. The default is to transmit the second of the
event.
HB Monitor
This option defines, that if the port is in Receive
Mode, it should monitor the heart-beat signals of the
connected receivers. By default this option is
disabled.
Heartbeat Time
Defines the interval of the heart-beat signals sent by
the receiver to the computer to verify the serial
connection. The interval can be set between 01 and
256 seconds. Programming 0 will disable the heart-
beat signals if the automation software is not
compatible with heart-beat protocol. The default
value is 30 seconds.
