DS71-MD4 Serial host and 56k Modem

Serial Port Configuration

Handshaking, Baud Rate, Word Size, Stop Bits, and Parity are configured through either the serial or Ethernet ports using the menus. Xon/Xoff, RTS and DTR Line Drivers can only be configured through the phone line via a modem. The default settings are 9600bps, 8 data bits, no parity, one stop bit, Xon/Xoff Off and RTS/DTR High.

IMPORTANT: Changing the Host module serial port configuration could create a communications lock-out if the terminal computer serial port configuration does not match the host module.

Word Size

The word size is the measurement of the actual data bits in a transmission. Which setting you choose depends on what information you are transferring. For example, standard ASCII has values from 0 to 127 (7 bits). Extended ASCII uses 0 to 255 (8 bits). If the data being transferred is simple text (standard ASCII), sending 7 bits of data per packet is sufficient for communication. A packet refers to a single byte transfer, including start/stop bits, data bits, and parity.

Select “Word Size” and the DS displays the following: Default is 8
