CHAPTER 9: Data-Channel Configuration

9.3 Asynchronous Channels
Before configuring an async channel, be sure that
the port is configured for async (from the Port
Configuration Menu). Ports (channels) A2 to A6
and all CEM module ports are by default async
channels. You do not need to configure ports which
are already async. If the port has been configured as
sync or a link, then you will need to re-configure the
port for async. If port configuration is necessary, be
sure to do a node reset to current configuration.
