635-Controller Configuration (via serial connect)

This topic covers how to configure a controller’s network settings and other panel operating parameters using the RS-232 Direct Connection.

 

The following configuration screen is reached using the RS-232 direct serial connection on the 635-series CPU Board. At the command prompt you will type ‘config’ command, and choose ‘0’ to configure the CPU Board.

 

IMPORTANT: For each line item, the value shown in parentheses is currently programmed in the board. When you type a new value and press ENTER, the new value will be retained and the cursor will advance to the next line item.

IMPORTANT : You must answer “yes”, to make changes permanent when prompted.  If you do not save, the changes will be lost if the CPU is reset.

NOTE: The IP Address items will typically be provided by an IT Department or Internet Service Provider - and must be appropriate for your network. The address values shown in the On-Boarding Document are for example only!

The following configuration screen is reached via a serial connection the 635 CPU. To review the current configuration, type the config command, and choose 0 to configure the CPU. The current values will be displayed in the terminal screen. With the exception of the local IP address information at the top, your first controller should match the values shown below. If no further changes are necessary, answer no.
