Switching the active communications ports for ION8650C (Feature Set C)
The ION8650C meter supports concurrent communications on
the optical port and a maximum of two other communications ports.
If you ordered the Ethernet and/or internal modem option with this meter, you must first disable one of the active communications port before you can enable another in its place (for example, the COM1 serial port).
NOTE: Switching the active communications port
requires a meter reboot before the changes can take effect.
- Use the front panel to select ENABLED COM PORTS setup menu screen. Select CONTINUE.
- Select the active communications port you want to disable (e.g., Ethernet). Select DISABLED. Enter the meter password when prompted, then select YES to confirm the change.
- Select the communications port you want to enable (e.g., COM1). Select ENABLED. Select YES to confirm the change.
- Select REBOOT. Select YES when prompted. Enter the meter password when prompted.
