Configuration of the controller

The configuration consists of two steps * Configuration of the serial connection between the SGX 5150 and the KBS PTL controller.
This is called the 'Line'. * Secondly the 'Tunnel' must be configured which is the network part used to communicate with the controller.

Set the 'Name', 'Baud Rate', 'Gap Timer' and 'Threshold' as shown below.

Once configured press the 'Submit' button

Tunnel configuration

Select 'Tunnel 1' in the 'Tunnel' menu

Choose the 'Serial Settings' just to validate that the serial connection values are correct.
They should match the values configured under 'Line 1', as 'Tunnel 1' and 'Line 1' are implicitly tied together.

Next choose 'Packing Mode' and set the values as shown below.
