The actual physical Comm port over which communications to the transponder are carried.

Carrier Det

If checked, verify there is no carrier on the communications port before communicating. This setting is normally unchecked.

No CTS

If checked, do not monitor the “clear to send” before communicating. This setting is normally checked.

Mon Power

If checked, monitor the ring indicator pin to indicate a remote power supply used on this Comm link did not fail. This setting is normally unchecked.

3.3.19 Remote Comm Port Setup Screen

This screen connects the network, modem, and system serial ports to the physical Comm ports on the computer and sets their baud rate.

Figure 544: Remote Port Setup Screen

Network Port

This port connects the master and slave computers of the Security Escort System. If this system has only a single computer, this setting should be set to none.

Modem Port

This port typically connects to the modem for remote access and pager dial out.

If set in the Remote Setup Screen, use this port without a modem for direct connection to a computer that is always on line.

System Serial 1

This is a general-purpose serial port. Its function is set up in the Remote Setup Screen.

System Serial 2

This is a general-purpose serial port. Its function is set up in the Remote Setup Screen.

COM

The actual physical Comm port over which these communications are carried.

Baud

The speed at which characters are transmitted on this serial port. This setting must match the baud rate of the device connected at the other end of this serial connection. This setting should always be at the highest speed both connected devices have in common. Modem connections are typically much more efficient, if the baud rate is set significantly faster than the modems rated speed (for a 28.8 modem, set the baud rate to 57600 or 115200). The default setting is 9600 baud.

CR/LF

Appends carriage return and line feed characters at the end of each string transmitted (default). Only functions with the system serial ports (ignored on the network and modem ports).

CR Only

Appends a carriage return character at the end of each string transmitted. Only functions with the system serial ports (ignored on the network and modem ports).
