Field Description
Baud Rate Match this setting to match the Baud Rate setting in the Do-more CPU serial port configuration.
Parity Match this setting to match the Parity setting in the Do-more CPU serial port configuration.
Stop Bit Match this setting to the Stop Bit setting in the Do-More CPU serial port configuration. This value is most often 1.
Data Bit Match this setting to match the Data Bit setting in the Do-More CPU serial port configuration. This value is most often 8.
Control RTS If you select Yes in this field, C-more asserts the serial port RTS signal before transmitting data. This signal is commonly used with media converters such as FA-ISOCON.
Control FTS If you select Yes in this field, C-more checks to see if the CTS signal is asserted from the connected device before it transmits data.
Select RS 485 Select Yes for this field if you need 2 wire RS-485 communications. Along with selecting Yes in this field, you must jumper the SD+ with the SD- and RD- pins.
Password If the Do-more CPU is configured to use a password, the project needs to store this password to communicate with the Do-more. You must enter the password into this field.
Timeout Time (0-40) (in 100ms units) The amount of time (in 100 ms increments) that the panel waits on a reply after sending a request.
Poll Time The amount of time (in milliseconds) that the panel waits in between each request.

 

Note: You must configure the Do-more password to allow access privileges for other devices. The minimum privileges Read Data: RD and Write Data: WD selected to work correctly with C-more.
