RS232 Control

Connect the RS232 ports of WUB2, the hub can be control by the PC. Baud Rate: 9600(default), 19200, 38400, 57600, 115200

Installation/uninstallation of RS232 Control Software

• Installation Copy the control software file to the computer
• Uninstallation Delete all the control software files in corresponding file path.

Basic Setting
Firstly, connect WUB2 with host and devices. Then, connect it with a computer which is installed with RS232 control software. Double-click the software icon to run this software.

Here we take the software CommWatch.exe as example. The icon is showed as below:

The interface of the control software is showed as below:

Please set the parameters of COM number, bound rate, data bit, stop bit and the parity bit correctly, only then will you be able to send command in Command Sending Area.
Note: To control WUB2 via RS232 port, the communication protocol parameters should be configured in the right manner: Baud rate: 9600; Data bit: 8; Stop bit: 1; Parity bit: none.

GPIO Mode
The GPIO of WUB2 have 3 modes: Off mode (default), PULSE mode and LEVEL mode.

The GPIO pulse mode: each transition from HIGH to LOW on GPIO pin will force a PC change. See the following picture for the explanation of the mode.

• The GPIO level mode uses a level “0” (short to ground) and “1” (open or voltage higher than threshold) to select a specific HOST, the threshold voltage is 2.3V. A level “0” or short to ground: HOST2 is selected.
  A level “1” or open: HOST1 is selected.

NOTE: In Level mode, can’t switch hosts by pressing button
