3.1. Serial Communications Configuration

To configure Serial (A12) Communications Adapters, select MENU > COMMUNICATION. The ATevo will display the ports that may be configured.

To change settings for an adapter, do the following:

1. Navigate to it using UP and DOWN; select it with EDIT/ENTER.
2. Press UP and DOWN to navigate to parameter to configure.
3. Press EDIT/ENTER to select parameter.
4. For numbers, use LEFT and RIGHT to navigate to digit to edit, then UP and DOWN to change digit value, then EDIT/ENTER to store new value.
5. If options presented, use UP and DOWN to select, then EDIT/ ENTER to store new option.
   

As discussed in the Navigation section of the ATevo Operations Manual, all commands in this manual are also presented with a shorthand communication: Command > Command > Command, omitting navigation buttons like UP, LEFT, and ENTER.

Before configuring the ATevo Serial Communications Adapters, refer to Section 2.1 to make sure the hardware jumper settings on the cards are correct for your application.

*A Serial Communications Adapter must be installed in the associated PORT in order for that port to be operational. Any PORT without a Serial Communications Adapter must be set up as “Unconfigured” (appears as “none”). See Section 2.1 for details on installing communications adapters.
