Interface; Rs232 Multiplexer - La Crosse Technology WS-2010 Software Manual

In the case of changes made later, e.g. through disassembling the system, the
changes should be made at the beginning of a new saving period.

Interface

This submenu enables the selection of a serial interface to which the radio inter-
face should be connected. The default setting for the connection is the first serial
interface (COM 1). The interface parameters (9600 baud, 8 data bits, 2 stop bits
and even parity) are automatically set by the operating and evaluation software.
After confirming the selection, the radio interface is searched for on the selected
interface. If the radio interface is not found, a corresponding message is issued.

RS232 Multiplexer

As with the PC radio interface, several other units also operate with the com-
puter via the serial RS232 port. Since most computers, however, only have 2
or even 1 serial ports, the implementation of an RS 232 multiplexer is advanta-
geous enabling the operation of up to 6 external units on one serial COM port.
By cascading several multiplexers, it is possible to provide up to 36 serial ports
for each PC COM port.
If an RS232 multiplexer is available, the interface address is selected via this
menu option.
