The 232BSS4 is programmed with a Self Test mode. The
microprocessor checks the UARTs, RAM, and EEPROM and
reports any errors back to the setup software. If the software
reports an error, contact B&B Technical Support.
The Back-to-Back main screen is the same as the Single Unit
with a few exceptions. Both modules' parameters are available
for viewing at the same time. Also, some parameters are pre-
defined and not available to the user.
From the file menu, the configuration of both switches can be
saved to disk, loaded from a disk, or printed. This provides an
easy method of configuring multiple switches with the same
setup.
Back-to-Back units are predefined for Auto Switch mode and a
three-character command. The command characters can be set
to other than default if the main communications channel cannot
accept certain characters. The characters set on Unit #1 are
automatically copied to Unit #2. The Port Timeout and Inactivity
timer must be set.
The Master port is automatically configured to use Hardware
Handshaking. Setting the Baud Rate, Data Bits, and Parity on
Unit #1 automatically sets these parameters on Unit #2.
All Slave ports on both units can be independently configured for
Baud Rate, Data Bits, and Parity. Hardware Handshaking can
be enabled or disabled on any of the ports. All automatic
connections are established on Unit #1 and any necessary
parameters are copied to Unit #2. Any combination of
connections is possible.
