3.1.3.1 Port serial settings

From the "Port settings" menu, press [5] to display the "Port serial settings" menu. Using this menu, the administrator can adjust the serial settings of each port, or copy the current port serial settings and paste them to another port or to all ports.

3.1.3.1.1 Baud rate

Any baud rate (serial speed) between 50 bps - 128Kbps can be selected, (except for port 0, between 300 bps - 115.2 Kbps). To modify the port serial speed (baud rate);

–press [1],

–enter the new value or press [T] for a table listing standard baud rates supported,

–and press [Enter]. A confirmation will be required for non-standard baud rate values.

3.1.3.1.2Data bit

The data bit number can be 5, 6, 7, 8, (except for port 0: 7 or 8).

To modify the data bit number;

–press [2],

–then the bit number: 5, 6, 7, 8

3.3.1.3Stop Bit

The stop bit number can be 1, 2, 1.5 or 2.5, (except for port 0: 1 or 2 stop bits).

To modify the stop bit number;

–press [3],

–then [1] or [2] or [A] or [B] to select 1, 2, 1.5 or 2.5 stop bits respectively.

3.1.3.1.4Parity

Parity is set by pressing [4], then [N] for none, [E] for even, or [O] for odd.

3.3.1.5 Flow Control

The flow control (hand shaking) can be hardware (RTS/CTS or out-band), software (Xon/Xoff or in-band), both or none. To select the flow control;

–press [5],

–then [H] or [S] or [B] or [N] respectively.

Note: If "N" for "none" is selected, data may be lost when sending large (greater than 1000 byte) data packets.

Note: If a modem is attached to the port, and hardware and/or software flow control is used, the appropriate command may be added to the modem initialization string:
