Data/printer port setup

General

The RS-232 port may be set to operate with a PC or, for instance, to

output a Traffic log directly to a printer.

Note! The bit rate setting applies for both PC and printer transfer.

When printing f.ex. the Traffic log to the PC, the screen enters text

mode. To revert to data mode, Simrad MS50 must be restarted.

Setup for data communication

• Speed as selected on next page, normally 9600 bps.

Note! The bit rate set between the PC and the Simrad MS50 must

be higher than the nominal 2400 bps Simrad MS50-to-satellite bit

rate to ensure maximum speed transfer.

• No parity *

• 8 data bits *

• 1 stop bit *

* These parameters can only be changed using AT commands,

see appendix C.

Setup for output to printer

A printer must have serial interface, and is set as follows:

• Speed as selected on next page, i.e. the bit rate specified for the

printer to be connected.

• No parity

• 8 data bits

• 1 stop bit
