Channel 1 and Channel 2 Configuration
Channel 1 and Channel 2 configurations define how the serial port responds to network and serial communications.
To configure the channel configurations:
1.From the Configure Device window for the WiPort unit, click the Ports tab. The list of available ports display.
2.Click on a port number and click Edit Settings. The Port Properties window opens.
3.Click the Port Settings tab. In the available fields, change the following pull down menu options as necessary:
Baud Rate | The unit and attached serial device, such as a modem, must |
| agree on a speed or baud rate to use for the serial connection. |
| Valid baud rates are 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600 |
| (default), 19200, 38400, 57600, 115200, 230400, 460800, or |
| 921600. |
|
|
Data bits | Indicates the number of bits in a transmitted data package. |
|
|
Parity | Refers to the checking whether data has been lost or written |
| over when transmitted between computers. The default is |
| None. |
|
|
Stop bits | The stop bit follows the data and parity bits in serial |
| communication. It indicates the end of transmission. |
|
|
Flow control | Flow control manages data flow between devices in a network |
| to ensure it is processed efficiently. Too much data arriving |
| before a device is prepared to manage it causes lost or |
| retransmitted data. |
