4.5 Serial port configuration panel

The Serial Port Configuration panel configures the communication parameters for the RS-232 link on the FibreBridge. These settings must match settings selected on your host computer in order to establish a link. Some parameters will be “grayed out” if they do not apply to your model of the FibreBridge or if they have no effect based upon the selected value of a related parameter.

The number of data bits is fixed at eight for the FibreBridge. Parity is always disabled.

Baud Rate (default = 9600)

Modifies the baud rate. The FibreBridge is capable of 2400, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600 or 115200 bits per second.

Flow Control (default = None)

Selects the method for data handshaking between the

FibreBridge and the host computer. Serial port flow control can be managed using either hardware flow control, software flow control (Xon/Xoff) or no flow control.

Stop Bits (default = 1)

Configures the number of stop bits per character to either one or two.

Some options will be “grayed out” on the panel: they are not available because of the type of access mode or FibreBridge model or they have no effect based on other

selections. The chart below shows options available based on model and access method.
