6:Line and Tunnel Settings

The XPort Pro Lx6 embedded device server contains one line using a standard RS232/RS485 serial port. This line may be configured to operate in the following modes:

RS232

RS485 Full Duplex (also compatible with RS-422)

RS485 Half Duplex, with and without termination impedance

All serial settings such as Baud Rate, Parity, Data Bits, etc, apply to these lines.

Line Settings

The Line Settings allow configuration of the serial lines (ports).

Some settings may be specific to only certain lines. Such settings are noted below.

None

 

 

Tunnel = Serial-Network tunneling protocol.

 

 

 

 

Baud Rate

Set the Baud Rate (speed) of the Line. The default is 9600.

 

 

Any set speed between 300 and 921600 may be selected: 300, 600, 1200,

 

2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, 115200, 230400, 921600.
