  1. Establish a connection to AQT400. See Connecting to AQT400 with RS-232 (CLI).
  2. Port settings are 7E1 (7 data bits, even parity, one stop bit). To use the RS-485 port in Modbus ASCII mode, type the following: 
    set rs485_baud=9600
set rs485_mode=1
set rs485_parity=e
set rs485_databits=7
write --really
reboot --really

    If you connect several devices to the same port, define the correct parity setting.

  3. To reboot the device and check that the settings are correct, type the following: 
    reboot --really
show rs485_mode
  4. When done, close the connection.
