Configuring the Commports
The CX9200 has four Communication Ports that must be configured for
use with the smoke control system. In a smoke control system, it is
recommended that you assign the Commports as follows:
• COMM1 - RS-232 port for the FSCS
•COMM2 - Infinet Network
• COMM3 - User Terminal
• COMM4 - RS-232 port for the Fire Panel
Configuring COMM1 for the FSCS
Starting at the Main Menu Bar, select the Edit function. A pulldown
menu will appear showing you the Edit functions that are available.
Figure 4-3 shows the Edit pulldown menu.
Select the Commports option from the pulldown menu. After selecting
Edit Commports, you will be prompted to enter the Commport Name.
You can either type in COMM1, or press the F2 key for a list of the
available selections. After entering COMM1, press the ENTER key and
the Commport window will appear on the screen.
The Commport window allows you to enter a description, set the Default
Mode, and set the Baud rate. For use with the FSCS, the Commport
should be set up as follows:
• Description = FSCS Interface (for example)
• DefaultMode = Printer
• Baud rate = Baud9600
Once the information has been entered, TAB to the SAVE box and hit
the ENTER key. Comm1 has now been configured.
Figure 4-6 shows the Commport window.
