Step 6: Enabling the Autobaud Option

If it is desirable to have the BridgeWay automatically determine the network baud

rate, the Autobaud option must be enabled.

• Highlight the BridgeWay module by right clicking with the cursor on its

icon.

• Select the Device menu option and pull down menu, then select Proper-

ties. A parameter screen is displayed.

• Click on Upload. The parameter values will be read from the device.

• Put the cursor “Autobaud” parameter value. Click to highlight it and then

click again to get a menu. From this menu select “Enable” or “Disable” to

enable or disable the autobaud option respectively.

• Click Download to send the mode change to the BridgeWay.

• Click Close.

Note: Changes to the autobaud option configuration do not take effect until the

module has been power cycled.

Note: If the BridgeWay is the only master on the DeviceNet network, DO NOT

enable autobaud. Automatic baud detection requires there to be traffic on the net-

work, there is typically no traffic until the master establishes connections.
