Ensure
that
the
two
RS-
232c
cables
are
connected
properly
(COM1
to
Programmer
port,
COM2
to
Remote
port).
•
Ensure
that
your
PC
does
not
assign
two
RS-232C
ports
to
the
same
IRQ.
Your
system
will
not
communicate
with
the
Programmer
Port
if
two
COM
Ports
are
assigned
to
the
same
IRQ.
•
Ensure
that
someone
has
not
changed
TaskLink's
port
settings
from
their
default
values.
If
they
have,
restore
them
to
their
default
settings
and
check
the
port
communication.
•
You
should
be
using
the
RS-232C
cables
supplied
with

PROMASTER REMOTE MODE.
PROMASTER REMOTE MODE
Installation
and
Setup
Switching
Between
Local
and
Remote
Modes
As
discussed
in
Chapter
1,
the
2500
uses
two
methods
to
communicate
with
the
operator.
Ninety-five
per
cent
of
the
interaction
will
be
through
the
TaskLink
screens
and
PC
keyboard.
The
remaining
five
per
cent
of
the
interaction
is
through
the
2500's
keyboard
and
display.
When
the
system
is
initially
shipped
from
the
factory,
it
is
configured
to
communicate
with
TaskLink.
There
are
two
key
points
to
remember
about
these
modes:
1.
When
you
are
using
TaskLink,
the
2500
is
operating
in
Remote
mode.
The
2500
displays
the
message
2.
When
you
are
entering
commands
on
the
2500's
keyboard,
the
system
is
either:
•
in
Local
mode,
or
•
running
a
Task
and
you
have
pressed
STOP
on
the
keyboard
to
make
an
adjustment.
A
complete
list
of
STOP
commands
is
located
in
Appendix
B.
[f
the
2500
powers
up
in
local
mode,
you
can
switch
to
remote
mode
by
pressing
LOWER
CASE
+
R
(for
remote)
on
the
2500's
keyboard.
The
2500
displays
Default
2500
System
Configuration
The
2500
remains
in
remote
mode
until
you
change
it
by
pressing
LOWER
CASE
+
L
(for
local)
on
the
2500's
keyboard.
The
2500
powers
up
in
the
mode
it
was
in
when
last
turned
off.
This
will
be
remote
mode
when
operating
with
TaskLink.
Listed
below
are
the
default
settings
for
the
ProMaster
2500
system.
The
procedures
for
changing
these
parameters
are
described
in
relevant
sections
of
the
manual.
Under
most
circumstances,
you
will
use
these
defaults,
connect
the
air
line
and
communication
cables,
power
up
the
system,
and
start
creating
Tasks.
