The Micron Gemini will not connect using RS232 on my Multiplexer
The issue may lie with the type of connection that you have and the way that the Micron Gemini
Autocomms works. See the Autocomms sections for more details.
This situation will occur mostly in multiplexer systems that utilise fibre optics, rather than a
wired copper connection.
The Micron Gemini always starts in RS485 mode, this ensures that in most cases the Micron
Gemini will be picked up when plugged into the computer with the Tritech USB. However, on
fibre optic systems the connection is not transparent and so the protocol needs to be matched.
If the fibre channel is set for RS232 the multiplexer will not accept the initial RS485 negotiation
and so a base connection to the Micron Gemini cannot be established.
The fix is to add the Micron Gemini manually to Genesis, and then set the comms protocol to
RS232 manually.
The Micron Gemini should then communicate with the software and negotiate a serial rate for
the line.
