4.2.1 Communication Port Name

This parameter specifies the communication port name string to be used for communications. The range of valid port names is dependent on the hardware platform within which the BECO2200 DCA resides.

4.2.2 Communication Port Parity

This parameter specifies the communication Parity of the configured port. Parity can be configured as Even, Odd, or None. The default parity is Even.

4.2.3 BAUD Rate

This parameter specifies the communication BAUD rate for the configured port.

4.2.4 RTS On Time

This parameter specifies the time, in milliseconds, that the RTS line will be asserted prior to the data transmission. The value configured here will be dependent on the speed and the type of communication hardware used. Refer to Table 5 for a list of character times at the supported BAUD rates.

☞NOTE: If either RTS On Time or the RTS Off Time are configured to be non-

zero, the RTS On Time must be configured to at least 1 ms.

If modem signals are not desired, set both the RTS On Time and RTS Off Time to 0.
