This section provides basic set up instructions for those knowledgeable
in computer equipment installation. We will refer to specific sections in
this manual for more in-depth instructions on installation operation, and
configuration. Please review the following procedure:
Step Instructions
1 Determine how many and what type of I/O modules are installed. Identify which ports
are serial and which are parallel. Serial ports on the MOD 4C and MOD 4E I/O
modules have DB-25 male connectors. Serial ports on the MOD 4CF I/O module and
parallel ports on the MOD 4A and MOD 4E modules have DB-25 female connectors.
Determine what devices will connect to your Model 24 and whether they will connect in
serial or parallel. Typical devices include computers, printers, plotters, and modems.
2 PORT DESIGNATION
Determine which serial or parallel ports on the Model 24 will be designated as
computer or printer. Computers and modems connect to ports designated as
computer. Printers and plotters connect to ports designated as printer. All ports may
be configured as computer or printer except as noted. From the factory, Port 2 is the
default printer port and the remaining ports are computer ports. If your application
requires port designations that are different from the factory default configuration, you
must reconfigure your unit. Step 5 discusses configuration mode.
NOTE: If your application requires sharing more than one printer or plotter, you will
have to reconfigure the port designation(s) of your unit.
3 SERIAL PORT CONFIGURATION
The serial port configuration of your equipment and the Model 24 must match. The
Model 24's default configuration follows:
Baud Rate: 9600 bps
Word Size: 8 bits
Stop Bits: 1 bit
Parity: None
XON/XOFF: Off
If you will be connecting any serial devices which communicate with parameters
different than the default configuration, you must access configuration mode and
make the appropriate changes. Step 5 discusses configuration mode.
