Rs232 Communications; Connecting To Host - Ramsey Electronics COM3010 User Manual

6.50 RS232 Communications

The serial remote control function of the COM3010 provides all the same operations that can
be accessed from the front panel except for the scanner and sweep functions. The serial port
on the back of the COM3010 is filtered to prevent RF leakage. This filtering may cause errors
at baud rates over 57.6K; therefore, it is best to use 57.6K baud and lower with the
COM3010. Since a limited amount of data must be transferred to operate serially a lower
baud rate is adequate. A terminal program is required and they are typically included in most
operating systems. A standard 9-pin serial cable is also required.
The COM3010 is addressable meaning that it is possible to change the address on each of
several different units and have them in series, but only the unit with the correct address will
respond to your commands. By default this address is 555 and this is entered via the SYS
OPEN command. By default the serial password is disabled. If the serial password has been
enabled, the factory default password is "1234".
