Set Control Port
The TSU 600 can be configured from the control port
only when a unit ID number has been entered. (It can
be configured from the faceplate whether a unit ID
number has been entered or not.)
If the control port is to be used, the control port baud
rate must also be selected.
Possible uses of the control port are control in and
chain-in.
Control In (PC)
The unit can be controlled from an external PC con-
nected directly or via modem to the Control In port.
When using Control In, the selection of the Control
Port baud rate from 9600 (factory default), 1200, 2400,
or 4800 must be made using the Unit Configuration
menu.
Unless locked out externally, the front panel can also
control the unit.
Chain-in
TSU 600s and TSU 100s can be linked together to form
a chain. Figure 2-1 provides an example of a chain-in
arrangement with a PC or a modem. The first TSU 600
in the chain receives controlling input from the PC or
modem.
Subsequent TSUs in the chain are in a position to
intake information from another TSU. This in-taking
of information from another TSU in the chain is
identified as Chain-in. The baud rate for the chained
units must match that of the first unit.
Unless locked out externally, the front panel can also
control the unit.
