AE/LZB 119 1897 R1A SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION
30
Three (3) command buttons are located at the bottom of the Configuration Editor’s window. These buttons are common
to all of the program’s dialog boxes and they are always displayed when the program is running. If a command button’s
function is not currently valid, it grays-out to indicate this. For example, as shown in Figure 6-4, the <Save> command button
is grayed-out since the program was just started and no configuration changes have occurred.
6.2.2.1 Hardware Dialog Box
The Configuration Editor’s Hardware dialog box is shown selected in the following figure. Settings are described in the

6.2.2.1.1 CIM Serial Link PC COM Port Baud Rate
Baud rate selection for the serial control data link between the PC and the CIM within the CEC/IMC is accomplished via
the CIM Baud Rate option buttons. Supported rates are 9600 and 19.2K baud, as indicated in Figure 6-5. In most cases the
factory default setting of 19.2K baud need not and should not be changed, as this is the recommended baud rate for PC-to-
CIM interfacing via RS-422 interfacing.
However, to prevent modem buffer over-flow, the 9600 baud setting is typically required if modems are used in the PC-
to-CIM control data link. Refer to the console’s Installation and Set-Up Manual which is included with its maintenance
manual set (see Table 1-1 for manual number) and/or the PC manufacturer’s documentation for specific details.
Since the CEC/IMC CIM Controller Board has an auto-baud serial port, no CIM changes are required when a PC port
baud rate change is made via this dialog box.
