The CFG Interface
Purpose
The CFG port is the connection point to the island bus for either a computer running
the Advantys Configuration Software or an HMI panel.
Physical Description
The CFG interface is a front-accessible RS-232 interface located behind a hinged
flap on the bottom front of the NIM:
The port uses an 8-pin HE-13 (male) connector.
Port Parameters
The CFG port supports the set of communication parameters listed in the following
table. If you want to apply any settings other than the factory default values, you
must use the Advantys Configuration Software:
NOTE: To restore all of the CFG port’s communication parameters to their factory
default settings, push the RST button (see page 53) on the NIM. Be aware,
however, that this action overwrites all of the island’s current configuration values
with factory default values.
If you want to retain your configuration and still use the RST button to reset your port
parameters, write the configuration to an STB XMP 4440 removable memory card
(see page 47) and insert the card in its drawer in the NIM.
