3.4.3 Multidrop Operator Set-Up
If the selected protocol is not PRINTER, the following screens define the ADDRESS of the
device in the multidrop line, and the access permission from the remote supervisor. If NONE is
selected, the supervisor has full access to the device. If LIMITED is selected, the supervisor
accesses only those variables that are accessible with the OPERATOR password. If
PROTECTED is selected, the unit is write protected.
NOTE: This section only applies to multidrop operation. If you are using the COMM for
connecting a printer, skip this section and refer to Section 3.3.4.
The Clear To Send (CTS) line of the port can be used for hardware handshake.
Select Enabled if you want to connect the CTS input of the system to a control signal generated
by the other device.
WARNING
THE CTS INPUT CAN ONLY BE USED WHEN JUMPERS ARE SET FOR RS232.
ATTEMPTING TO ENABLE THE CTS SOFTWARE CONTROL IN RS485 MODE
WILL RESULT IN LOCK-UP OF THE LINE.
