How can I reset the baud rate so that I can continue working?

Question:

I have programmed the baud rate at 23

*PONMAC 0

*PONMAC 0

*PONMAC 0

in the power-on macro. Now I can’t communicate via my embedded system, BMPload, or Hyperterminal. How can I reset the baud rate so that I can continue working?

Answer:

The SLCD controller family has an “auto-switch” feature to change the active serial port. You need to connect to an alternate serial port, perform the auto switch, and disable the power-on macro.

Using the development kit:

Connect to the AUX port on the PowerCom4 triangle board using a PC serial port at
,
```
baud0
```
,
```
baud0
```
52
,
```
*PONMAC 0
```
,
```
*PONMAC 0
```
baud.
Using Hyperterminal or RealTerm or Tera Term, send 4 “enter” or characters, and you should get a ‘>’ prompt.
Issue the command:

*PONMAC 0

Power cycle. The main port should now be
,
```
baud0
```
,
```
baud0
```
52
,
```
*PONMAC 0
```
,
```
*PONMAC 0
```
baud. If not, to see what it is set at, repeat and issue the command:

baud0

On the SLCD43, you can connect to the USB port and do the same as the above.
