Lantronix MSS100, 1-T2 manual Serial Port Configuration, LAT Parameters

Serial Port Configuration Basic Configuration

4.3.3LAT Parameters

¥Server IdentiÞcation String: The MSS can be given a descriptive identiÞcation string of up to 40 characters so that users on a LAT network can identify the MSS.

Ex: CHANGE LAT IDENTIFICATION ÒBiolab ServerÓ

¥Service Groups: The MSS serial port and the services on the network each belong to one or more service groups. Devices can only connect to services if they both belong to a common service group.

Ex: CHANGE LAT GROUPS 1,7,13,105,210-216

¥Circuit Timer: Message transmission on LAT networks is controlled by timers which specify when messages will be sent from the server to other network nodes. The timer value is set to a default at the factory and should not need to be changed.

4.4 Serial Port Configuration

The serial port is set at the factory for 9600 baud, 8 data bits, one stop bit, and no parity. These and other serial port features can be conÞgured as shown below. Remember that ports should be logged out or the MSS should be rebooted in order for the commands to take effect. For expanded information about serial port conÞguration, refer to the version of this chapter provided on CD-ROM.

NOTE: The console port is not user-configurable.

¥Port Access: The serial port can be conÞgured to initiate connections to services and permit local logins (local access), to accept only network connections (remote access), or to allow both incoming and outgoing connections (dynamic access, the default).

NOTE: If the MSS is connected to a device that will be generating data, set the port to Remote access.

Ex: CHANGE ACCESS REMOTE

¥Baud Rate: Specify a baud rate of 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600 (the default), 19200, 38400, 57600, or 115200 baud.

Ex: CHANGE SPEED 19200
