When the switch is set for Auto Select mode, the Port Time and
Inactivity time must be set. This time is in milliseconds and must
be between 0 and 65000 (65 seconds). See chapter 2 for a full
description of these Timeout values.
When selected, the Initial Connections button provides a
selection of ports to be connected when the unit is powered up.
When the switch is set for Smart Switch Only mode (no Auto
Select), the Master to Slave communications (individual or
broadcast) can be initialized to any or all of the four slave ports.
One of the Slaves can also have access to the Master on power-
up.
When in Auto Select mode, the Master can still be initialized to
transmit data to the Slaves, but Slave to Master communications
is handled through automatic switching and cannot be initialized.
This button displays the parameters for the Master Port,
including Data Rate, the number of Data Bits, Parity, and if the
port requires handshaking.
This button displays the parameters for the Slave Port, including
Data Rate, the number of Data Bits, Parity, and if the port
requires handshaking. The port’s preamble characters are also
defined here.
This button will read the configuration from the connected
232BSS4. The 232BSS4 is read upon entering the Main Screen,
so it should not have to be read again unless it is necessary to
set the parameters back after changing.
This button will display all current module parameters on one
screen for review. Any changes to the currently connected
switch that have not been saved will be shown in Red. The page
can then be printed to the default Windows printer for review or
for attachment to the switch.
