4.2.2. Main Menu 
 
Sending the “Enter” character to the adapter 
accesses its main menu. This is also sometimes 
referred to as “Carriage Return”.  
 
All basic configuration options for adapter are 
accessed via this menu. Advanced features are not 
available from the menu interface.  
 
Users wishing to alter “advanced” settings can do so 
by either using the Windows Configuration 
application documented above, or by using the 
commands documented below. 
 
4.2.3. Communications Parameters 
 
 
 
Selecting option 1 from the “Main Menu” menu 
displays the Communications settings menu. 
 
It is from this menu that all available serial port 
settings can be changed. The available options 
are detailed below. 
 
The factory set communications parameters for 
your adapter are as follows… 
Baud Rate: 
 
115,200 
Data Bits: 
 
8 (non-configurable) 
Parity:   
             None 
Stop Bits: 
 
 
You can alter these settings by using the 
configuration menu options shown below. 
 
 
The user is first prompted to change the Baud 
Rate. The current setting is shown. To change the 
baud rate, just type the rate you want to use and 
press <enter>. The Adapter will accept any 
number you type, but will set the baud rate to the 
one that’s closest to what it can actually achieve.  
 
Press “Esc” to skip this setting – the current 
setting will remain unchanged
