Serial Parameters

ATTENTION

Check the serial communication parameters in your Serial Device’s user’s manual. You should set up the NPort’s serial parameters with the same communication parameters used by your serial devices.

Baud rate

Setting	Factory Default	Necessity
50 bps to 921600 bps	115200 bps	Required
The NPort supports baud rate setting from 50	bps to 921.6 Kbps.
Data bits
Setting	Factory Default	Necessity
5, 6, 7, 8	8	Required

When the user sets Data bits to 5 bits, the stop bits setting will automatically change to 1.5 bits.

Stop bits

Setting	Factory Default	Necessity
1, 2	1	Required
Stop bits will be set to 1.5 when Data bits is	set to 5 bits.
Parity
Setting	Factory Default	Necessity
None, Even, Odd, Space, Mark	None	Required
Flow control
Setting	Factory Default	Necessity
None, RTS/CTS, DTR/DSR, Xon/Xoff	RTS/CTS	Required
FIFO
Setting	Factory Default	Necessity
Enable, Disable	Enable	Required

The NPort’s serial ports provide a 16-byte FIFO both in the Tx and Rx directions. Disable the FIFO setting when your serial device does not have a FIFO to prevent data loss during communication.
