5.5.3.RS232 Port Parameters

The Port Parameters Menus are used to conﬁgure the CMS-6R4's serial RS232 Ports, and allow you to assign a name to each port and select parameters such as the baud rate, parity and handshake mode. To access the Serial Parameters Menu, proceed as follows:

•Web Browser Interface: Click the "Setup" button to access the Setup Menus, and then click the "Port Parameters" button. The Port Parameters Menu will be displayed as shown in Figure 5.14.

•Text Interface: Type /P n and press [Enter] (where n is the number or name of the port that you wish to conﬁgure.) The Port Parameters Menu will be displayed as shown in Figure 5.15.

Note: Port 7 is the Internal Modem port; the Port Mode for this port is set to "Modem" and cannot be changed. To conﬁgure the Modem port, either select port 7 via the Web Browser Interface, or access the Text Interface and type /P 7 [Enter].

As shown in Figure 5.14 and Figure 5.15, the Port Parameters Menus allow you to deﬁne the following parameters:

•Port Name: Assigns a name to this port. (Default = undeﬁned.)

Note: The Port name can be up to sixteen characters long, and cannot include control characters, forward slashes (/), asterisks (*), or space characters. The ﬁrst character of the Port Name must be a letter of the alphabet.

•Baud Rate: Baud Rate for this RS232 Port. (Defaults: Port 1 through Port 6 = 9,600 bps; Port 7 (Internal Modem Port) = 57.6 Kbps.)

Note: When this setting is changed, the new baud rate will not be applied until the user exits and then re-enters command mode.

•Bits/Parity: The data bits and parity setting for this port. (Default = 8 Bits, No Parity.)

•Stop Bits: The Stop Bits setting for this port. (Default = 1 Bit.)

•Handshake Mode: Selects the handshake format for this port; XON/XOFF, RTS/CTS (hardware), Both, or None. (Default = RTS/CTS).
