Graco 312353B Manuel D’Utilisation

Click Add Transceiver Button, then click Modify.

1.

Enter the area of the shop where the transceiver is 
located (i.e., Main Shop, Fast Lube Shop, Engine 
Department) in the Transceiver Name field. 

2.

The Network ID is a letter designation for the Trans-
ceiver network identification. The default is (A). 
There are eight network ID’s available designated 
with the letters A through H. Type in the selected 
Network ID.

The Network ID letter for a given Transceiver 
must match that Transceiver’s dipswitch set-
tings.

3.

Transceiver ID is a letter designation for the Trans-
ceiver Identification. The default is (A). There are 
eight Transceiver ID’s available designated with the 
letters A through H.

The Transceiver ID letter for a given Transceiver 
must match that Transceivers equivalent dip-
switch settings.

4.

Serial Port is a pull down menu of all available com-
munication ports on the Matrix PC. COM 1 is the 
default setting. If COM 1 is not available, select an 
open port from the pull down list.

Some computers may not have any serial ports. 
In this case a USB converter will be required to 
obtain serial ports. Graco recommends Edge-
port models from B & B Electronics.

If you attempt to add a Transceiver and the PC 
has no COM ports available, an error message 
appears. Contact your IT professional or add 
serial ports using the USB convertors recom-
mended by Graco. See page 4 for additional 
information.

Firmware Revision is the Transceiver firmware 
revision level.

Graco recommends that when you plug in the power 
cord to the transceiver, do it with the PC serial cable 
already plugged in.

Each time a transceiver is powered up, it reads its dip 
switch settings for Network ID and Transceiver ID and 
sends this information to the PC. It also sends the trans-
ceiver’s firmware revision level. These settings are dis-
played as “Last Power-up Settings” and “Firmware 
Revision” on this screen. If these fields are “N/A”, it 
means that the transceiver has never (successfully) 
communicated with the PC.

One way to confirm that the serial connection between 
PC and transceiver is functioning properly is to change 
the transceiver dip switch settings and verify that the PC 
software reflects the new settings. Refer to the trans-
ceiver manual on how to set transceiver dip switches.

Example:
A Matrix system has a single transceiver, the desired 
settings on the transceiver setup screen (F

. 66) are 

Network ID = A, Transceiver ID = A, and Serial Port = 
COM1 (factory defaults). 

1.

If it’s open, close the transceiver setup screen (F

2.

Power off the transceiver.

3.

Set the transceiver dipswitch settings to: 
Network ID = H
Transceiver ID = H
Refer to transceiver manual 309498 for instructions.

4.

With one end of the serial cable already plugged 
into the PC and the other end in the transceiver, 
power up the transceiver.
