Address and Baud Rate Switch
The FP-1000/1001 is preconfigured for network address 0 and a baud rate
of 115.2 kbps. If you are connecting only a single network module, you do
not need to change the network address from the preconfigured setting of
address 0. You should not need to change the baud rate setting unless
you are experiencing communication problems.
Follow these steps if you need to change the address and baud rate for your
FP-1000/1001 network module.
