PRIMARY DOCKING PORT • SOFTWARE DETAILS
DCP-Type Protocol Settings
Responder Baud Must match interrogator port setting, nor-
mally 9600.
Responder Parity Must match interrogator port setting, nor-
mally NONE.
DCP Address Must match the base address being polled
by the master.
Periodic Full Updates When checked, the KDA will generate a
full alarm status report every 250 polls, as
opposed to the normal report that only
gives changes. The polling master may
also request full status reports. DPS rec-
ommends leaving this unchecked, let the
master take care of it.
Report Satellite Failures When the KDA is monitored by a T/Mon
Workstation, the T/Mon will monitor the
status of KDA and its alarms. When and if
a unit fails, the Report Satellite Failure
option will report which unit has the fail-
ure. Satellite failures are reported on
display 33. Satellite 1 is reported on point
25, satellite 2 on point 26, and satellite 3
on point 27.
RTS Lead Time Time, in milliseconds, after serial port
RTS handshaking is asserted that data bits
start to be transmitted. Ordinarily does not
have to be changed, but may be adjusted if
communications timing problems are
encountered or delay is needed for relay
keying.
RTS Tail Time Time, in milliseconds, after serial port data
transmission stops that RTS handshaking
is cleared. Ordinarily does not have to be
changed, but may be adjusted if communi-
cations timing problems are encountered
or delay is needed for relay keying.
Relay 8 Response to RTS When checked, on-board relay 8 closes
when RTS is asserted. This may be used to
key an external radio transmitter, etc.
