■ Communications Parameters
The E5CN’s communications specifications are set in the communications
setting level. These parameters are set on the E5CN’s front panel. The
following table shows the communications parameters and their setting
ranges.
Highlighted values indicate default settings.
● Communications Parameter Setup
Before you carry out communications with the E5CN, set up the communica-
tions unit number, baud rate, and other parameters by carrying out the
following procedure. For details on operations other than communications
parameter setup, refer to the Operation Manuals for the devices being used.
1. Press the LEVEL Key for at least three seconds to move from the “operation
level” to the “initial setting level.”
2. Press the LEVEL Key for less than one second to move from the “initial
setting level” to the “communications setting level.”
3. Select the parameters as shown below by pressing the MODE Key.
