The baud rates supported are: 2400, 4800, 9600, 14.4k, 19.2K, 28.8K, 38.4K, 56K,
57.6K, and 115.2K baud.
The data format is fixed at 8 bits, No parity, and 1 stop bit.
The MV1 is shipped from the factory with the baud rate set to 9600 baud.
Ethernet (Optional)
The MVIP Ethernet option requires the purchase of the optional Ethernet Interface Option.
Once installed, connections to the MV1 are by CAT 5 or equivalent cable. Consult your
network administrator for the proper procedure to terminate and connect the cable.
Wi-Fi (Optional)
The MVWIFI option requires the purchase of the optional WiFi Interface Option. Once
installed, connections to the MV1 are by the wireless network. Consult your network
administrator for instructions to connect the MV1 to your wireless network.
BATTERIES
The MV1 can use 6 "C" size Alkaline, Ni-Cad or NiMH batteries (not included). You must first
obtain and install batteries before operations can begin. Batteries are contained in a battery
holder inside the MV1. Access is via a removable panel on the back of the MV1. Refer to
Figure No. 1.
CAUTION! The MV1 can be operated from Alkaline, Ni-Cad or NiMH batteries.
All six (6) batteries must be of the same type. They must all be Alkaline, all Ni-
Cad or all NiMH. DO NOT mix Alkaline and Ni-Cad or NiMH batteries.
NOTE: The MV1 does not have a battery charging circuit. Should you wish to use
Ni-Cad or NiMH batteries, they must be fully charged before installing. When
discharged, Ni-Cad or NiMH batteries must be removed and placed in an external
charger to recharge.
