Introduction

The Serial section is used to configure the serial ports on your IOLAN. The

following configuratio n windows are available:

zSerial Ports—Configures the type of connection that the serial port is

being used for. This is accomp lished by selecting a connection profile and

then configuring the applicable parameters for that profile. See Serial

Ports on page 103 for more information.

zPort Buffering—Configures serial port data buffering preferences. See

Port Buffering o n page 183 for more information.

zAdvanced—Configures th ose parameters that are applicable to specific

environments. You will find modem and TruePort configuration options, in addition to others,

here. See Advanced on page 186 for m ore in formation.

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 Port s 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.
