RS485

RS-485 Configuration

Enable

Enable the use of RS-485.

Notes:

  • CAB CM-1 cards support 8 and 9 bit serial data.
  • CAB CM-2 cards support 8 bit serial data only.
  • CAB Dante does not support RS-485.

 

Unicast Address

Prevents multicast RS-485 data connections across the network. Only Unicast connections to a single destination may be established.

Format

Set to 9 bit. The 9th data bit is bridged over the Ethernet along with the standard 8 data bits.

This value cannot be changed.

Baud Rate

Baud rate for data transmission and reception in bits per second.

Set to 38400. This value cannot be changed.

Rx MAC

MAC address of the CobraNet Interface from which SCI data will be accepted. This may be any multicast address except 01:60:2B:FD:00:00 through 01:60:2B:FD:FF:FF, which have been reserved by Cirrus Logic for use as asynchronous global channels.

Tx MAC

MAC address of the CobraNet interface to which serial data is sent. May be any multicast or unicast address.

RX Channel

The number of the receive channel to which this CAB belongs. This CAB will be able to receive serial data from other CABs transmitting on this channel.

TX Channel

The number of the transmit channel to which this CAB belongs. This CAB will be able to transmit serial data to other CABs receiving on this channel.

PPeriod

The polling period for devices attached to the serial port. The time in milliseconds that elapses after a device has been polled before it is polled again.
