To set the ZWaveNetwork communications parameters

To set the communications parameters for a ZWaveNetwork:

  1. Right-click the ZWaveNetwork and select Views->Property Sheet.

    The Property Sheet appears.

  2. Expand the Comm Plug In slot, then its Serial Port Config slot.

    Set the properties for the JACE serial port used, starting with Port Name. Properties are as follows:

    • Port Name: none — Enter the JACE RS-232 port being used, like COM2 or COM3.

    • Baud Rate: Baud9600 — Or choose different from selection list.

      NoteFor a Z-Wave JACE option card, set this to Baud115200 (115,200 baud). The remaining serial port properties below are left at defaults (8, 1, N, none).

    • Data Bits: Data Bits8 — Or choose different from selection list.

    • Stop Bits: Stop Bit1 — Or choose different from selection list.

    • Parity: None — Or choose different from selection list.

    • Flow Control Mode: none — Or choose different using checkbox.

    NoteIf an external Z-Wave serial gateway is configured differently from the defaults above, adjust the baud rate, data bits, stop bits, parity, and flow control settings as necessary to match.

  3. Click the Save button.
