Configuring the Serial Port

The Serial Port Configuration page displays information about the serial port on your ES1A, including its description, its profile (operating mode) and serial settings (baud rate, data bits, parity, stop bits). You will have to configure these parameters to set up your system for the type of operation required and to match the parameters of the serial device to which the ES1A is connected.

To open the Serial Port Configuration page, under the Configuration menu click Serial Ports. When you first access this page a list of ports, their description, profile and serial configuration appears. (If the ES1A has not yet been configured for the first time the Profile column may indicate <Unassigned>.)

To access detailed settings for the ES1A serial port, click Port 1. The Serial Port Configuration page that appears includes three sections with hyperlinked menu bars.

•Port Profile Settings

•Basic Serial Settings

•Advanced Serial Settings

Port Profile Settings

The Port Profile Settings section displays the current serial port mode of operation, a description of that profile and a hyperlink to Change Profile…

Click the Change Profile… menu bar to open the Select Port Profile page. Any of eight possible serial port profiles can be selected.
