4.9  COMMUNICATION PORT SETTING (COM 
PORT SETTING) 
 
External sensor signals are input to the radar equipment through a communication port.    The radar equipment has 
five c
ommunication ports.    For signals to be input from sensors or to be output to the sensors, communication ports 
need to be set in accordance with the sensors. 
 
 
[I] Baud Rate Setting

 Procedures   1.  Open the Serviceman Menu. 
 
2.  Perform the following menu open procedure to open the Baud Rate 
setting menu. 
 
        2. Installation Menu   
  → 5. COM Port Setting   
  → 1. Baud Rate   
 
3.  Set the baud rate of the port to be set. 
 
Selection value 
 
  1. COMPASS    : 4800(NMEA)/9600(NSK)/38400(Fast NMEA) bps 
 2. NAV1    : 1200/4800/9600/38400 bps 
 3. NAV2    : 1200/4800/9600/38400 bps 
 4. GPS     : 1200/4800/9600/38400 bps 
 5. NMEA   : 1200/4800/9600/38400/115200 bps 
 
The bold values are factory-set. 
The C
OMPASS port is a receive-only port that is dedicate
d to COMPASS signals. 
 
 
[II] Reception Port Setting (RX Port) 
 
Set the numbers of ports for receiving signals from
 sensors. 
There are two methods for receiving signals: specifying a port for each sensor, or using the automatic 
recognitio
n function without specifying ports. 
 
 
 Procedures   1.  Open the Serviceman Menu. 
 
2.  Perform the following menu open procedure to open the RX Port setting
