7.3.1 Communicating via MJ1 Serial Port
Start by configuring Cscape to use the correct communications port. This can be done using the
Tools
→
Options
→
Communication Port
dialog in Cscape.
Next, connect the PC’s serial port to the port labeled MJ1 on the
XL7/XL7 PRIME.
If communications are successful, the target indicator should show the mode of the controller Target:
yy(R) as shown in the status section above.
If the controller is not communicating, it may be required to set the target ID of the controller in Cscape
or on the unit. The Target ID allows directing communications to a particular unit when multiple units
are connected via a CsCAN network. Units without CsCAN network ports respond to any network ID and
do not require the ID to be configured.
To check or change the ID on the XL7/XL7 PRIME, press the System Button to enter the System Menu.
The first item in the menu is Set Network ID.
Pressing Enter allows the ID of the unit to be viewed or modified.
To change the Target ID of Cscape use the
Controller

Set Target Network ID
dialog.
