Enabling the RS232 CU Enable command

The RS232 CU Enable command is used to turn on the ability for a
PC running the configuration utility (CU) to communicate with the
control panel using the optional RS-232 card for the purposes of
uploading or downloading panel data. This command turns off
printing to the printer (if one is connected) and allows your CU PC to
communicate with the panel.
Note: The RS232 CU Enable command times out (turns off) after four
minutes of inactivity, meaning that if the command is enabled but
does not connect to the CU PC within four minutes, the command
turns off and must be reenabled.
To enable the RS232 CU Enable command:
1. If you are using a printer, disconnect the printer cable from the
RS-232 card.
2. Connect the configuration utility computer to the RS-232 card.
3. Press the Menu button.
4. Choose Program.
5. Choose RS232 CU Enable.
The RS232 CU Enable screen is displayed.
6. Choose On.
The panel can now communicate with the CU.
7. When finished, disconnect the PC from the RS-232 card.
8. Turn off RS232 CU Enable.
9. Reconnect the printer cable to the RS-232 card if needed.
