connection in manual mode or use a device autosearch.
This section allows to show (and modify) some important details regarding the connection to the converter:
About the converter connection cable, ISOCON is set with “USB IF2 Cable only”; if the customer does not use the IF2 cable, he has to deselect
this flag.
jack conn. when the physical connection between PC and converter is made by IF2 cable connected to the board female jack
connector
modulo aux. when are used TX and RX signal of a standard RS232 serial cable connected to the terminals of an auxiliary COM port
of the converter.
After selecting the RS 232 port it is possible to establish a connection in the following ways:
manual mode, selecting the communication port and its (only for RS 232 – modulo aux.) speed, the Manual key establishes the
connection
automatic connection search, pressing the Autosearch key to start it (without setting communication port and speed).
