The Station ID window is used to name the remote device associated with the driver configuration.

The COM Port window is used to select the communication port used.

The Uni-telway Slave Address window is used to enter:

the standard slave address of the driver,

the number of slave addresses used by the driver.

The Modem Communication window is useful when the local station is communicating via a modem. In this case, this window is used to enter:

the HAYES string to be sent to the modem in order to initialize it,

the call number of the remote device,

the password to be sent to the remote device, if it has been configured with a list of callers with passwords (e.g. TSX MDM 10 card configured with passwords).

Speed: transmission speed of between 300 and 115 200 bits/s,

Auto-Adaptation: self-adaptation of speed (time during which the driver tries to connect at a given speed),

Data: specifies the size of the data exchanged over the line,

Parity: is used to set whether a parity bit is added or not, as well as its type,

Stop Bits: is used to enter the number of stop bits used for communication,

RTS/CTS Delay: enables the CTS signal to be used in the event of multidrop communication.

The Default button is used to reset all these parameters to their default value.

Uni-Telway: default value, uses the driver to communicate in Uni-Telway,

Num PLC: uses the driver to connect to NUM PLCs.

RX/TX Delay: by default set to –1; is used to extend the return time (if the station is too fast).

Link Timeout: by default set to –1; is used to set the maximum time for detecting the right transmission speed.

Force Virtual Com Port: must be checked if the Unit-Telway driver uses a virtual communication port except for use with the TSX PCX 3030 cable.

How to install the driver

At a Glance

Driver installation is a standard installation. It can be launched either:

 

from the drivers’ CD-ROM,

 

or from disks if the station has no CD-ROM drive.

 

 

 

 

Note: The installation disks are created from the CD-ROM.

How to create a

 

 

 

 

Use the following procedure to create installation disks:

set of disks

 

 

Step

Action

 

 

 

 

 

1

Use a station which has a CD-ROM drive.

 

 

 

 

2

Insert the CD-ROM into the drive.

 

 

 

 

3

Access the directory of the driver to be copied onto disk.

 

 

 

 

4

Copy the contents of the DISK1 directory onto a disk. Repeat this step for each

 

 

DISK directory.

 

 

Note: it is advisable to number the disks.
