Chapter 4: Configuring the Hardened Serial Server
To wait until a specific amount of data is received on the serial port before sending it across the network:
1.Select “I want to wait for a specific amount of data to be received by the serial port before sending it” in the “Character Count” box.
2.Type the desired number of characters into the text box.
To force the Hardened Serial Server to send all buffered data received on the serial port within a specified length of time:
1.Select “I want to wait no longer than a specific amount of time after data is received before sending it” in the “Forced Transmit” box.
2.Type the desired time period (in milliseconds) into the text box.
To force the Hardened Serial Server to send buffered data if another character is not received within a certain period of time:
1.Select “I want to send data immediately when no more characters are received for” in the “Intercharacter Timeout” box.
2.Type the desired time period (in milliseconds) into the text box.
To force the Hardened Serial Server to start buffering data only when it receives a specified ASCII character on its serial port:
1.Select “I want to send data immediately when a specific character is received by the serial port” in the “Delimiter 1” box.
2.Type the decimal value for the ASCII character into the text box. For instance, if you want to send data when a “$” is received, enter “36” into the text box.
NOTE: If Delimiter 1 is selected, Delimiter 2 must also be used.
To force the Hardened Serial Server to send its buffered data when it receives a specified ASCII character on its serial port:
1.Select “I want to send data immediately when another specific character is received by the serial port” in the “Delimiter 2” box.
2.Type the decimal value for the ASCII character into the text box. For instance, if you want to send data when a “$” is received, enter “36” into the text box.
To force the Hardened Serial Server to remove the delimiter characters from the received data when it sends it on to the Ethernet network:
Select “I want to remove the delimiter characters from the data before sending the data.”
