You can verify the default parameters for your interface by following the steps
below:
1. In the STEP 7-Micro/WIN 32 window, click the Communications icon, or select
View > Communications from the menu. The Communications Links dialog
box appears.
2. In the Communications Links dialog box, double-click on the icon for the
PC/PPI cable. The Set the PG/PC Interface dialog box appears. See
Figure 3-2.
3. Select the "Properties" button. The Properties dialog box for the interface
appears (see Figure 3-3). Check the properties to ensure that they are correct.
The default transmission rate is 9,600 baud (9.6 kbps).
For help in changing the default parameters, see Section 7.3 in Chapter 7.
Note
If the hardware that you are using does not appear on the list shown in "Set the
PG/PC Interface" dialog box, then you must install the correct hardware. See
