If communication with the serial communicating device cannot be established, check for the
following:
Is the I4X connected to a power supply, check that the POWER LED is lit?
Is the I4X connected to the computer, has the right COM port been selected?
Has the correct addressing, data speed and formatting been used, when using RS485
are the individual devices correctly addressed? For iSTAT devices QDSP can be used
to check.
If using a data speed of 115,200 b/s, try reducing this to a lower data speed, e.g.
57,600 b/s

Is the I4X connected to the Ethernet?
Has the correct IP address been defined for the I4X?
Has the correct RS232 and RS485 data settings been defined in the individual units
and the I4X? For units connected to the RS485 check that each unit has a different
