FCD-E1LC Ver. 1.0 FCD-E1LC Command Language 4-7
OFF In this position, you can define your own password and node address.
ON Set the section to ON to restore the default FCD-E1LC password (1234), and
change the node address to the default value of 0. The change will be made
after you turn the FCD-E1LC off for a short time, and then back on. After
restoring the default values, return the switch section to OFF. If the section is
left at ON, your changes will be discarded (i.e., replaced again by the default
values) the next time the FCD-E1LC is turned on.
Selecting the Factory-Default Supervisory Port
Communication Parameters
If the supervisory port parameters are not correct, the FCD-E1LC will not respond.
This can be corrected by means of the DEF PAR section of the switch SW2. Set
the DEF PAR section of the DIP switch as follows:
OFF In this position, you can define the desired supervisory port parameters.
ON Set the switch section to ON to enforce the default supervisory port
parameters. The default parameters are AUTO (automatically detected data
rate), one start bit, eight data bits, no parity, one stop bit and no flow control.
With the switch section at ON, the default parameters values override the values in
the configuration database.
The database values can only be changed using the DEF SP command. Therefore,
after setting the switch to ON, establish communication with the FCD-E1LC using
the default parameters values and configure the desired values.
When ready to use the new values, return the switch section to OFF, and then
change the communication parameters of the terminal as required.
Ending a Control Session
You can end the control session in one of the following three ways:
• Disconnect the cable from the FCD-E1LC front-panel CONTROL DCE
connector.
• Send the EXIT command from the supervisory terminal (for Telnet sessions,
use BYE).
• FCD-E1LC automatically disconnects the ongoing session if no commands are
received for a certain period of time (controlled by the LOG_OFF parameter).
You can, however, disable this timeout. For Telnet sessions, the disconnect
interval is determined by the Telnet apathy time.
After the session is ended, it is necessary to enter the correct password again to
start a new session (if the password was enabled).
A control session may also be terminated by the FCD-E1LC when the terminal DTR
line switches to the inactive (OFF) state.
