Serial Port Communications and Commands
Establish Communication
Establish Communication
Establish communication with the SEL-387 through one of its serial ports by
using standard “off-the-shelf” software and the appropriate cable connections,
depending on the device.
Software
Use any system that emulates a standard terminal system. Such PC-based
terminal emulation programs include: ProComm Plus
®
, Relay Gold
®
,
Microsoft
®
Windows
®
Terminal, Microsoft Windows 95 HyperTerminal
®
,
SmartCOM
®
, and CROSSTALK
®
. Many terminal emulation programs will
work with the SEL-387. For the best display, use VT-100 terminal emulation
or the closest variation.
The default communication settings for the serial ports follow:
➤
Baud Rate = 2400
➤
Data Bits = 8
➤
Parity = N
➤
Stop Bit = 1
➤
RTS/CTS = N
Change the port settings, using the front panel or the
SET P <Enter>
command.
Port Identification
If there is ever uncertainty about the number of the port to which you are
connected (1–4), use the command
SHO P <Enter>
. The relay will respond
with a message identifying the port number, and will list the settings for that
port. The
SHO P
command is discussed later in more detail.
Cables
Connect the SEL-387 to another device, using the appropriate cable. The pin
definitions for Ports 1, 2, 3, and 4 are given on the relay rear panel and
detailed in
A 9-pin port connector drawing and pin definitions appear in
.
