Chapter 4. Configuration

Serial Console

To configure the CN8600 to interact with the connected serial device, you need to set its parameters to match the parameters of the device in the Port Property Settings.

Select the values that match the ones used by the connected serial console device. The port property settings that the CN8600 supports are as follows:

ŠBaud Rate: This sets the port’s data transfer speed. Choices are from 300– 38400 (drop down the list to see them all). Set this to match the baud rate setting of the serial console device. Default is 9600 (which is a basic setting for many serial console devices).

ŠData Bits: This sets the number of bits used to transmit one character of

data. Choices are: 7 and 8. Set this to match the data bit setting of the serial console device. Default is 8 (which is the default for the majority of serial console devices).

ŠParity: This bit checks the integrity of the transmitted data. Choices are: None; Odd; Even. Set this to match the parity setting of the serial console device. Default is None.

ŠStop Bits: This indicates that a character has been transmitted. Set this to

match the stop bit setting of the serial console device. Choices are: 1 and 2. Default is 1 (which is the default for the majority of serial console devices).

ŠFlow Control: This allows you to choose how the data flow will be

controlled. Choices are: None, Hardware, and XON/XOFF. Set this to match the flow control setting of the serial console device. Default is None.
