GX-Series Control Panel Installation and Setup Guide
6-104
56.6.1 Mode
The Mode option allows selection of the method of connection to the PC:
1 = Printer
This option is selected if the GX-Series is communicating with a serial printer.
2 = Direct
This mode is selected if the GX-Series panel and PC are located in close proximity to one another and
can interface
via an RS232 cable.
3 = Modem
This mode is selected if the RS232 is communicating, via a modem and telephone line, with a remote PC.
1 = Telephone No.
The telephone number of the remote PC must be entered here.
2 = Dial Type
The type of telephone exchange (Pulse or Tone) must be assigned here.
3 = Init String
The initialization string is an alpha-numeric string which is used to initialize the modem connected
to the internal RS232 port.
4 = Storage Mode
This mode allows the panel to emulate the behavior of an external RS232 module which can then be
attached to another GX-Series panel to copy programming data. Refer to Appendix E for a full
description of this function.
56.6.2 Format
This option allows selection of the alarm signaling format. There are two formats available for the RS232
module:
1 = SIA
Refer to the Telecom format menu (56.1.2) for programming details.
2 = Microtech
Refer to the Telecom format menu (56.1.3) for programming details.
NOTE: The SIA and Microtech formats for the RS232 module are identical in structure and programming to
the Telecom menu.
56.6.3 Account No.
This is the site identifier. A unique account number must be entered, this can be up to a maximum of six
digits. The B key is used to erase an existing number. Each press deletes the last digit displayed.
56.6.4 Comms Setup
Serial communication between the on-board R232 port and a remote PC require the following 4 elements.
1 = Baud Rate
This is the number of bits that occur each second (bps). This can be set as follows:
1=300 2=600; 3=1200; 4=2400; 5=4800; 6=9600 (default); 7=19200; 8=38400; 9=57600 .
2 = Data bits
This can be sets follows:
1=5; 2=6; 3=7; 4=8 (default)
