635-Controller Configuration (via serial connect)

This topic covers how to configure a controller’s network settings and other panel operating parameters using the RS-232 Direct Connection.

 

The following configuration screen is reached using the RS-232 direct serial connection on the 635-series CPU Board.

At the command prompt you will type ‘config’ command, and choose ‘0’ to configure the CPU Board.

When prompted ‘Do you wish to make changes?’, you must type ‘yes’ to unlock the settings for changes.

 

IMPORTANT: For each line item in your terminal screen, the value in parentheses is what is currently programmed in your CPU. When you type a new value and press ENTER, the new value/setting is retained, and your cursor will advance to the next line item. The new settings you have entered will only become permanent settings after you save your changes.

IMPORTANT : When the terminal screen prompts user to save the new settings, you must enter “yes”, to make changes permanent.  If you do not save the new settings, the changes will be temporary and will be lost the next time the CPU is reset or power failed.

  SERIAL COM 1  =  57,600 baud; 8 Data bits; 1 Stop bit; Parity = None; Flow Control = None
The following screen is reached by RS-232 direct serial connection to the 635-CPU board.
To edit the Current Configuration, type the ‘config’ command, and choose ‘0’ (cpu), and type ‘yes’ to confirm you want to make changes to the CPU board. The current values/settings are shown in the terminal screen. With the exception of the local IP address settings, your first controller should match the values/settings shown below.
At the last user prompt, you must type ‘yes’ to make all your changes saved permanently, otherwise the CPU will revert to the previously saved settings when the CPU is reset or a power failure occurs.

if you reset.  Do you wish to make these new settings
permanent, so they will not be lost? (yes/no):yes
