• Base destination port: This is the physical port number on a remote slave unit. By default the base destination port on
the first slave unit is 7001. However, the user can change the base destination port number to
another number and the rest of the ports on the unit will be sequentially numbered from the
base destination port. For example, starting the base destination port number with 7010
results in a 32-port unit being numbered from 7010 to 7041.
Using the Configuration Menu
Clustering
By default clustered slave devices are configured using the Telnet protocol and port parameters of the following: bps=9600, data
bits=8, parity=none, stop bits=1, flow control=none. When the master device autoconfigures a slave device, it simply imports the
information from the slave unit. If other protocols or other port parameters are desired, configure the slave unit first with those
parameters before autoconfiguring. Before starting this configuration procedure, the slave units should already be configured
unless they are to be set to the default values. To set up the SERIMUX for clustering, do the following:
1. Access the configuration menu.
2. Choose Clustering configuration > Unit position.
3. Assign the unit as the master device.
A new screen is displayed.
