6.2.1 Async Data Port Configuration
The Async Data Port Configuration menu allows you to configure the data channel for either asynchronous or synchronous operation, depending on the type of device connected to the data port. If the port is configured for synchronous operation, refer to Sync Data Port Configu- ration.
When the port is configured for asynchronous operation, options such as speed, flow control, and pacing may need to be changed. The following Data Port Configuration menu displays the default parameters for async mode of operation:
Data Port Configuration
1 | - Async/Sync: | Async |
2 | - Speed: | 57600 |
3 | - Word Length: | 8 |
4 | - Stop Bits: | 1 |
5 | - Parity: | None |
6 | - Flow Control: | CTS |
7 | - Enq/Ack Flow Control: | Off |
8 | - Echo: | Off |
9 | - Pacing: | Off |
10 | - EIA Pass Through: | Off |
11 | - Pass Xon: | Off |

The Async/Sync option configures the port for either asynchronous or synchronous operation. When an asynchronous device such as a PC or a host computer is connected to the port, the data port needs to be configured for asynchronous operation. The default for this option is Async.
The Speed option needs to be set to match the speed of the async device. When the data port is connected to an asynchronous device, the baud rate can range from 300 bps to 57.6K bps. The default port speed is 57.6K bps.
