4.2Settings Stored in the Windows Registry

The WinMux2k driver parameters are located in the registry path

HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Enum\Root\winmux\000X\Device Parameters.

X is the number of the device instance.

All values listed below will be created during the installation of the WinMux2k driver. The settings are provided by the winmux2k.inf file. If you want to write your own preferences to the Registry you can edit the inf file before installing the driver.

Data (Example)

Properties

 

 

 

BasePort

COM1

The physical serial port that connects the module to the PC.

 

 

 

BaudRate

115200

Baud rate used on the physical port.

 

 

 

BaudRateString

AT+IPR=115200

This string is used to set the module to the given baud rate.

 

 

Note: This string must contain the same value as the

 

 

BaudRate value.

 

 

If you select a higher baud rate be sure it is supported by the

 

 

module. For details see [3].

ModemInit

AT

This multi-string value contains several AT commands

 

AT&S0

which are used to switch the module to multiplexer mode.

 

AT\Q3

Possible ERROR codes resulting from unsupported com-

 

AT+ICF=3

mands are ignored by the WinMux2k initialization sequence.

 

AT+CMUX=0

 

RequestTimeout

2000

Timeout value used only during the initialization of the mod-

 

 

ule. 2000 is the maximum number of milliseconds the mod-

 

 

ule can take to respond to AT requests.

VirtPort1

COM10

Name of the first virtual port. Each virtual port must have a

 

 

unique name. Otherwise the driver will fail to start up.

VirtPort2

COM11

See VirtPort1

 

 

 

VirtPort3

COM12

See VirtPort1

 

 

 

VirtualChannels

3

Number of Virtual Channels visible as COM ports. The

 

 

WinMux2k driver supports up to 3 virtual ports. The number

 

 

of VirtualChannels must be less or equal to TotalChannels.

TotalChannels

3

If the number of TotalChannels is greater than VirtualChan-

 

 

nels and no VirtPortX value for additional channels is

 

 

defined, these additional ports are not visible as COM ports.

 

 

They can be accessed by the link named

 

 

SERMUX_CONTROL_PREFIX defined in sermux_i.h. This

 

 

allows to hide virtual ports to the user. Each physical port

 

 

can have one hidden port.

WakeUpTime

4000

Timeout during module initialization. The timeout takes

 

 

effect only when the driver tries to restart the module from

 

 

Power Down or to wake it up from SLEEP mode

 

 

AT+CFUN=0. The time is given in milliseconds.

PowerCmdPort

3

This virtual channel is used to send the power down com-

 

 

mands to the module. The data state on this channel may be

 

 

disturbed during power down and cannot be reconstructed

 

 

by the driver.
