Loss of Communications
Defaulting might be necessary if communications between the decoder and
another device are interrupted or if using incompatible equipment (for
example, a terminal is set to communicate at 9600 baud, but the decoder is
configured at 38.4K baud). Communication can also be lost if an address
has been assigned to the decoder.
To reset parameters to default values, see
Decoder," on page
