Programming
4.1 General
The Annunciator Unit's service terminal is accessed through the 9-pin RS-232 serial port
located on the bottom of the RAM-2944LCD Driver Board. The programming cable uses pins
2, 3 and 5 straight through from DB9 male to DB9 female plugs. The serial port works at 9600
bps, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit and no parity.
When programming the Annunciator for the first time, the only item that MUST BE
PROGRAMMED from the service terminal is the Annunciator's network ID (default value is
101). The network ID is shown on the top line of every screen to identify the panel being
serviced. To change the panel's ID, first go to screen 16 by entering the command 16<Tab>.
Set Privilege Level 2 by entering (code)<Ctrl-V> where code is the Level 2 passcode (default
2222). To set the ID enter the command idN, where id is the network ID of the Annunciator, a
number between 1 and 254.
All other required programming is taken from the database generated by the Modul-R Human
Interface program (MHI). Downloading the database into the RAM-2944LCD annunciator is
automatically handled by MHI. See the Modul-R Human Interface Database Editor for details
on downloading databases.
Non-required programming controlling the operation of the Alarm List and the communications
parameters of the primary network port (if used) are set using the service terminal.
4.2 Service Terminal Screens
All screens have a common status line showing the current time, a diagnostic number, the
annunciator's ID number and the screen number and name. Screens will also list keyboard
commands related to the screen's information. Some commands require a privilege level set
before they can be used.
The following screens are available, those that are most useful for the installer are marked
with an asterisk:
