When this Driver is added to a new application project, it is loaded with default settings of extra parameters for serial ports, that is, speed of 19200 bps, 8 (eight) data bits, 1 (one) stop bit, and no parity check. These settings are already aligned with the usual serial communication configuration of Hochiki Firenet 4127 Control Panels. Possibly, the serial port address may need to be changed to the one with which users intend to establish communication, that is, COM2, COM3, and so on.
This Driver can be configured for other types of communication using the properties tabs on the extra parameters dialog box. For example, one of the communication methods is by using an Ethernet physical connection, using Ethernet-Serial converters. For any modifications in this context, the Documentation of I/O Interfaces topic provides the necessary explanations on how to change the settings to meet the demands of other types of interfaces.
