* Initial releases of the SEL-351 Relay Model 0351xM label the front-panel serial port as Serial
Port 3, instead of Serial Port F.
Connect the serial port to a computer serial port for local communications or to a modem for
remote communications. Other devices useful for communications include the SEL-PRTU,
SEL-2020 and SEL-2030 Communications Processors, SEL-2505 Remote I/O Module, SEL-2100
Protection Logic Processor, and SEL-DTA2 Display/Transducer Adapter. You can use a variety
of terminal emulation programs on your personal computer to communicate with the relay.
Examples of PC-based terminal emulation programs include CROSSTALK
®
, Microsoft
®
Windows
®
Terminal and HyperTerminal, Procomm Plus
®
, Relay/Gold, and SmartCOM. For the
best display, use VT-100 terminal emulation or the closest variation.
The default settings for all serial ports are:
Baud Rate = 2400
Data Bits = 8
Parity = N
Stop Bits = 1
To change the port settings, use the SET P command (see Section 9: Setting the Relay) or the
front-panel SET pushbutton.
