On the main screen, click the Open button to view the Set Up Screen. Three levels
of setup options are available, Basic, Advanced, and Diagnostic. Only Basic setup is
required.
5.1.3.1 Basic Setup
Use the “ComPort” control to select the communication port connected to the I
2
C
adapter. If an iPort/USB or iPort DLL/USB is selected, the serial number for the
selected adapter is displayed (Win 2000, XP+ only). In addition to legacy and
Virtual RS-232 ports, Message Manager supports USB and network connected local
or remote RS-232 ports via the Windows Com driver.
Select from the list of available baud rates. Then click OK.
After a few moments, the Communication Events window on the Main Application
screen should report “I
2
C Open Successful.”
If open is not successful, follow the on-screen instructions. Make sure the
communications port is working, is enabled in the Windows Device Manager, and
is not being used by other software. Additional communication port open
information is available in the log file. See Diagnostic Setup options.
