The Model 24SII DES will translate for serial devices using different configurations. This allows you to mix-and-match devices having different configurations. You may set the baud rate, word size, stop bits, parity and XON/XOFF (transmit and receive) for each individual serial port. For high speed serial modules, you may also program the printer sharing mode to either bidirectional or unidirectional. You may program the 4-Wire/8-Wire Operation on the M24SII-V07 high speed serial module to be 4-wire (RJ-11) or 8-wire (RJ-45).
Factory-default configuration on all serial ports is 9600 baud rate, 8 bit word size, 1 stop bit, no parity, and XON/XOFF disabled. The default printer sharing mode for high speed serial modules is bidirectional. The default 4-Wire/8-Wire Operation for the M24SII-V07 module is 8-wire.

The Input Inactivity Timeout allows the Model 24SII DES to disconnect a computer port which has sent a print job when no characters are received from the computer for the specified timeout period. The input inactivity timeout is effective only for computer-to-peripheral communication. For computer-to-computer communication, the timeout does not apply, and disconnect occurs only manually.
If the buffer of the Model 24SII DES is filled to capacity, the unit will drop the DTR line or send an XOFF to the computer, causing the computer to stop sending characters until the buffer can accept more data. In this case, the time that the computer is not sending characters is not counted as part of the Input Inactivity Timeout.
Factory default is 20 seconds.
