Configure McQuayNetwork communication parameters

In the McQuayNetwork property sheet you must define several parameters for communications.

To set the McQuayNetwork communications parameters

To set the communications parameters for a McQuayNetwork:

  1. Right-click the McQuayNetwork and select Views->Property Sheet.

    The Property Sheet appears.

  2. Expand the Serial Port Config slot.

    Set the properties for the JACE serial port used, where defaults are typically correct for OPM access, as:

    • Port Name: none — Enter the JACE RS-232 port being used, like COM2 or COM3.

    • Baud Rate: Baud9600 — Or choose different from selection list.

    • Data Bits: Data Bits7 — Or choose different from selection list.

    • Stop Bits: Stop Bit1 — Or choose different from selection list.

    • Parity: Even — Or choose different from selection list.

    • Flow Control Mode: none — Or choose different using checkbox.

    NoteIf the OPM’s serial port is configured differently from the defaults shown, adjust the baud rate, data bits, stop bits, parity, and flow control settings as necessary to match.

  3. Enter a Site Password Hex property value that matches the McQuay Open Protocol Site License Password. This is an 8-character field, using hexadecimal notation.

    NoteIf less than 8 characters are entered, this value is automatically set to all “F”s, that is: FFFFFFFF

  4. Click the Save button.
