Brings up the Comm Engine configuration window.
From that window, you can select the Com Port where the CP290 is connected to. If the Auto Connect check box is checked, the Comm Engine will automatically connect to the CP290 whenever it is started. By default, Auto Connect is off. You can use the command line option to override this setting.
Note: Communications parameters are fixed for the CP290 at 600 Baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit and no parity.
If the Minimize on Open check box is checked, the Comm Engine will be minimized on start-up. You can go to the windows list (press CTRL-ESC) to show a minimized Comm Engine. By default, Minimize on Open is checked.
Data Logging can be enabled by checking the Auto Event Log box. The Log Rate is set to one second by default and sets how often the Comm Engine checks for data from the CP290 interface. Log File Size sets the maximum log file (HOUSE290.LOG) size in kiloBytes. If the file size exceeds this limit, the existing log is copied to the file HOUSE290.000 and a new log is started. Any existing HOUSE290.000 file will be overwritten. Note that the log only records the switch activations originating from the CP290 itself. Other X-10 events are not reported by the CP290.
Data Logging must be enabled in order for the Event Actions to work. See FILE - Event Actions for details.
The Save button saves all the settings in the CP290CE.INI file and closes the window.
Cancel will abort any changes and close the window. Closing the configuration window from the system menu is equivalent to canceling changes.
