Related Commissioning Problems
The following problems are also related to commissioning.
RS-232 Port Cable
Failed downloads can result from incorrect cabling between the
configuring PC and the NCM port. Recheck cable configurations, as
shown in the NCM Cable Guidelines section of this document.
RS-232 Baud
Failed downloads also can result from incompatible baud between the
configuring PC and the NCM Port. The RS-232 port defaults to a baud
of 19200. After the NCM has been successfully configured, you can
change the baud within the ranges of 300 to 19200. However, if the
NCM RS-232 port is changed from the default of 19200 and
WNCSETUP must be performed again, the new baud must be used or
WNCSETUP fails.
