Serial Port Profiles

Custom Application Profile

Overview

The Custom App/Plugin profile is used in conjunction with custom applications created for the IOLAN by using the Perle SDK. See the SDK Programmer’s Guide (the SDK and guide are accessible via a request form located on the Perle website at

www.perle.com/supportfiles/SDK_Request.shtml) for information about the functions that

are supported.

You must download the program and any ancillary files to the IOLAN and set the serial port to the Custom App/Plugin profile to actually run a custom application. You must also specify the program executable and any parameters you want to pass to the program in the Command Line field. The custom application is automatically run when the serial port is started.
