C•CURE apC/L Technical Manual
apC/L Panel Setup
6-6
SW3:1 If SW3:1 is set on, the database is cleared whenever the apC/L
recovers from power loss or when the reset switch SW2 is pressed. This
switch is used only during your initial database set-up. For normal operation,
set the switch off.
SW3:2 Switch 2 enables apC/L dialup communication mode. Set switch 2
ON to operate in dialup mode. Set it off to disable dialup communication.
SW3:3 Enables Clear To Send (CTS) as an input for RS-232 when set to
ON.
SW3:4 Switch 4 sets the parity for communications with the computer or
modem. Set it ON for no parity, OFF for even parity. Use even parity (OFF)
with directly connected apC/Ls. For modem communications, including
apC/L dialup mode, match the apC/L’s parity to the host’s parity. With either
setting, the apC/L communicates 8-bit characters with one stop bit. Note that
the apC/L and the host will not communicate if the host, the apC/L, and the
modem parity settings are not the same.
SW3:5-7 Switches 5 through 7 set the baud rate at which the apC/L
communicates to the host computer and X.25 parameters. Set the baud rate to
the highest rate compatible with the host. If the devices are far apart or if
communications errors result, lower the baud rate. All apC/Ls in a chain must
run at the same rate. If you are using a modem, set these switches to match the
modem’s baud rate. Baud rates and their corresponding switch settings are as
follows:
Note When you are installing a new apC/L or an apC/L that has been
unused for a period of time, power up with SW3:1 ON to clear the
apC/L memory, then turn SW3:1 OFF.
Note The first 5 select the baud rate for direct connect or dialup
communication. The last three select the baud rate for X.25
communications.
