3.5. Using the Configuration Utility
The Configuration Utility will display allowing selection of the appropriate COM port settings for the Adapter device you have attached to the port:
COM Port: Select the port number of the COM port to which you have attached your adapter. Select “Auto” if you don’t know the number and the utility will attempt to find the device for you.
Other Settings: Select the other parameters to match those that have been set on the adapter. If you don’t know them, select “auto” and the utility will attempt to find the device for you. The default parameters for the adapters are 115200 baud, No Parity and 1 Stop bit.
At the bottom of the application there are four ‘action’ icons. These can be used to restore the local
The feature that allows a user to change the default configuration settings on their Adapter would be useful in cases where the Adapter was in use in an application where the physical security of the Adapter couldn’t be guaranteed. If the application required that the settings were very different from the original factory settings then if a long reset were performed (restoring default settings) the application would no longer work until the Adapter was reconfigured. Updating the default settings to the required ones means that should a long reset be performed the device will power up with the settings required by the application.
Care should be taken to make a note of the updated settings when using this feature, particularly in the case of future use or reconfiguration of the product. Use the table below to note any settings you have changed:
