Section ree: CPN-5600 Menu System Serial Port Settings
move to the center of the list, where it will be highlighted. e new device
type is now assigned.
Device types which cannot be selected are in white.
Only one of the two COMM ports may be set to Control Port. Either
COMM port may be set to Control Port, but only one at a time may be
assigned as Control Port.
When a “?” button is selected, a screen with further information about that
device type will be displayed.
If a device type that is used for communicating with other systems is selected,
an arrow button will replace its “?” button. Selecting that arrow button will
activate the control port dialog (see Figure 3-27: Control Port Dialog, on page
55).
You can return to the Serial Ports dialog to make further changes by selecting
the Return button, or by selecting Input Devices and then selecting Serial
Ports.
NOTE: If you are designating a port for use with another system, you
will need to set Comm Port parameters before exiting the menu system
(see Setting Comm Port Parameters, on page 54).
6. (optional) Select the device type name you wish to change.
When the device type name, instead of the arrow to its right, is activated, the
device type will change without having to display the Device Select submenu.
is method is only recommended for those with more extensive experience
in assigning device types. Each time the name is selected, it causes a different
device type to appear. e list of devices available using this method is an
abbreviated version of the list n in the Device Select dialog.
A click on the right side of the name moves forward one device. A click on the
left side of the name moves backward one device. (If you are using the
keyboard to select, it moves backward through the list only.) Keep clicking
until the device type you desire is displayed. It will be assigned permanently
when the CPN-5600 is rebooted.
NOTE: If you are designating a port for use with another system, you
will need to set Comm Port parameters before exiting the menu system.
7. Exit the menu system and recycle the power on the CPN-5600.
NOTE: e CPN-5600 must either be rebooted for the new device type
assignments to be made permanent or you can return to the Serial Ports
dialog and select the red box next to the new assignment to activate the
device immediately.
