for use on the Omnia 6 RS-

232 port.           

Parameters 

 

 

Once these parameters have been entered and saved as a connection profile, they can be used to capture and 
display (and/or print) the output of the Omnia 6's RS-232 serial port during boot up. Note that the Omnia's 
serial port is designed to operate without handshaking. This makes it compatible with a variety of external 
devices. It also makes it "stupid", meaning that you don't need fancy interface equipment or strange 
combinations of jumpers on the RS-232 connector in order to make it 'talk'. 

At Omnia, we commonly use Hyperterminal

with only the serial port's receive data line and ground 

connected. This creates a simple, two-wire interface 'listen mode' that we can use for troubleshooting.

panel's RS-232 serial port...
