5 Using the PC Mux as external multiplexer

The PC Mux simulates the multiplexer on a PC and can be used as an external multiplexer. However,
this requires some configuration as described in the following chapters.
Note :
The usage of the multiplexer is not possible, when auto bauding (AT+IPR) has been activated.

5.1 Starting the PC Mux

Start the PC Mux by double clicking the file simulation.exe.

Figure 5: Starting the multiplexer simulation

The Multiplexer
Simulation window as in
Figure 6 pops up on your
screen.
Click Enable Display (1)
in order to trace the MP
output on your display.
Note :
Only use the display
when not in data mode,
because it takes away too
many resources.
When clicking on Start
(2), the virtual ports are
initialized (terminals can
be connected), but the
module is not yet in
multiplexer mode.
