7	Configuring Serial PortsChapter 7

Introduction

The Serial section is used to configure the serial ports on your IOLAN. The following configuration windows are available:

zSerial Ports—Configures the type of connection that the serial port is being used for. This is accomplished by selecting a connection profile and then configuring the applicable parameters for that profile. See Serial Ports on page 113 for more information.

zPort Buffering—Configures serial port data buffering preferences. See Port Buffering on page 194 for more information.

zAdvanced—Configures those parameters that are applicable to specific

environments. You will find modem and TruePort configuration options, in addition to others, here. See Advanced on page 197 for more information.

Serial Ports

Overview

Each IOLAN serial port can be connected to serial device. Each serial port can then be configured according to a serial port profile that coincides with the serial device attached to that serial port and how the serial device is accessed/used.

Functionality

When you select the Serial Ports navigation option, you will see a list with the number of serial ports on your IOLAN. As you configure the serial ports, the information for each serial port is displayed.

To configure/change a serial port, click the Edit button.
