For applications where two or more
i
Series instruments are installed at the
same location, a serial switching device can be installed to help with
communications. The serial switching device enables communication to
occur with multiple instruments (including non-company serial devices)
with the use of only one phone line. Command codes can be sent over the
phone line to trigger a particular serial port and, therefore, allow
communication with the connected instrument. RPComm can be
configured to operate with these devices and send the required command
codes.
Refer to this section if you are connecting two or more instruments of the
same model to a serial switching device.
Use the following procedure to set up a serial switching device.
1.
Set up the unit for modem communications (“

). Verify that modem
communications to each instrument are successful before adding the
serial switching device.
