Conﬁguration

The Port Conﬁguration menu offers the following options:

1.Port Name: (Up to 16 characters) Assigns a name to the port.

•(APS-8M Defaults: Ports 1 through 7 = undeﬁned; Port 8 = "Internal_Modem").

•(APS-16M Defaults: Ports 1 through 16 = undeﬁned; Port 17 = "Internal_Modem").

2.Baud Rate: Selects the baud rate for the port. Can be set to any standard rate from 300 bps to 115.2K bps. (Default = 9600 bps)

3.Bits/Parity: (Default = 8-None).

4.Stop Bits: (Default = 1).

5.Handshake Mode: Selects the handshake format for this port; XON/ XOFF, RTS/CTS (hardware), Both, or None. (Default = RTS/CTS).

6.Port Mode: Deﬁnes the operation mode for this port. (Default: Ports 1 through 7 = Any-to-Any Mode; Port 8 = Modem Mode).

Notes:

•Ports 1 and 2 cannot be conﬁgured as Passive Mode or Buffer Mode ports.

•The Internal Modem Port is always conﬁgured for Modem Mode, and cannot be set to Any-to-Any, Buffer, or Passive Mode.

When Any-to-Any, Passive, or Buffer Mode is selected, the unit will display the DTR Output prompt (item 64) as shown in Figure 5.5. The DTR Output prompt is not displayed when Modem Mode is selected.

64.DTR Output: Determines how DTR will react when this port disconnects. DTR can be held low, held high, or pulsed for 0.5 seconds and then held high. In the default state, DTR will pulse for 0.5 seconds and then remain high. For more information on hardware lines, please refer to Appendix A. (Default = Pulse).
