Hardware Tab Field Descriptions

The Hardware tab configures all the serial port hardware connection information. The window below shows an SDS1 model; your Hardware tab might display a subset of the parameters described, depending on the IOLAN model and supported hardware.

Configure the following parameters:

Serial Interface	Specifies the type of serial line that is being used with the IOLAN.
	Data Options: EIA-232, EIA-422, or EIA-485. SCS/STS models support only
	EIA-232.
	Default: EIA-232
Speed	Specifies the baud rate of the serial line; keep in mind that speed is affected by
	the length of the cable. You can also specify a custom baud rate. When you
	enter a custom baud rate, the IOLAN will calculate the closest baud rate
	available to the hardware. The exact baud rate calculated can be viewed in the
	Serial Ports statistics.
	Range: 50-230400, custom supports 50-1843200
	Default: 9600
Data Bits	Specifies the number of bits in a transmitted character.
	Default: 8
Parity	Specifies the type of parity being used for the data communication on the serial
	port. If you want to force a parity type, you can specify Mark for 1or Space for
	0.
	Data Options: Even, Odd, Mark, Space, None
	Default: None
Stop Bits	Specifies the number of stop bits that follow a byte.
	Data Options: 1,1.5, 2. 1.5 is only available on the 1-port and 2-port models,
	but not on the modem line (Serial Port 2) of the SDS1M model.
	Default: 1
