Configuring Texecom Premier 816

Texecom Premier 816 control unit needs to be set up to communicate with Siwenoid using the Wintex UDL provided by Texecom Ltd. Version 5.6 or newer is recommended. You have to use it with english language setting in order to be able to use the metafile import feature of siwenoid. Language settings can be found in the setup menu under language, effectively changing the language of the application may involve a restart.

Plug in the USB end of the programming cable of the control unit (named "Premier Elite USB-Com") into the USB socket of your PC, connect the other end to the control unit main board connector designated as COM1! If your operating system is unable to automatically initialize the cable please refer to the

drivers page! After the hardware initialization have finished open the Control panel -> Hardware and Sound -> Devices and Printers and find FT232R USB UART device in the Unspecified section, from the right click menu on device select properties!

In the FT232R USB UART properties window choose hardware tab, and check the device functions list for "USB Serial Port (COM<X>)"! The expression in the parentheses form by the text "COM" and one or more digits

is the identifier of the virtual COM port. You will need the COM port number later.

Start up the Wintex utility and add a new account, set the basic properties on the first tab. and then the control unit model on the next tab!

Then set the control unit model (Premier 816) on the next tab!

In the dialog window select the COM port (which was specified in Control panel -> Hardware and Sound -> Devices and Printers -> FT232R USB UART properties -> Hardware -> Device functions -> USB Serial Port). Then save configuration and close the dialog window.


Click the a connect icon in the main toolbar, from the dropdown list select "Connect using PC-COM (COM<x>)"! In a few seconds the connection shall be established and the items on the left hand side toolbar
