6:Line and Tunnel Settings
The XPort Pro Lx6 embedded device server contains one line using a standard RS232/RS485 serial port. This line may be configured to operate in the following modes:
RS232
RS485 Full Duplex (also compatible with
RS485 Half Duplex, with and without termination impedance
All serial settings such as Baud Rate, Parity, Data Bits, etc, apply to these lines.
Line Settings
The Line Settings allow configuration of the serial lines (ports).
Some settings may be specific to only certain lines. Such settings are noted below.
