4.2.3 Communications
The Communications tab provides the communication forum between the ZNDC and ZNDC Pro-
grammer. Communications may be viewed in one of two modes: Program or Debug.
Program Mode has the following features:
Read From ZNDC: allows you to import previously programmed configuration and account
data from the ZNDC to the ZNDC Programmer. This is especially useful if ZNDC Programmer
is closed and re-opened, resetting configuration data to defaults and clearing all account data.
Write To ZNDC: allows you to transfer configuration and account data from ZNDC Program-
mer to the ZNDC.
Online: shows whether or not you are "online," or connected, to the ZNDC. Once you have
gone online, it will also display the ZNDC’s firmware version and release date next to this box.
COMX: indicates the communication port on the PC to which the ZNDC is connected. The
ZNDC may be hooked to either COM1 or COM2. This option may be changed at the Program-
mer by clicking just below "Online," directly on top of the "COMX." The communications
between the PC and ZNDC requires a PCI cable, connected between the COM port on the
computer and the "PCI" port on the ZNDC (installed with the cable flowing toward the outside
edge of the PCB).
"TX Data" and "RX Data": show the messages as sent to and received from the ZNDC.
