Serial Port Profiles

Duplex

Used with a EIA-485serial interface, specify whether the serial port is Full

 

Duplex (communication both ways at the same time) or Half Duplex

 

(communication in one direction at a time).

 

Default: Full

TX Driver Control Used with a EIA-485serial interface, if your application supports RTS (Request To Send), select this option. Otherwise, select Auto.

Default: Auto

Flow Control

Defines whether the data flow is handled by the software (Soft), hardware

 

(Hard), Both, or None. If you are using SLIP, set to Hard only. If you are

 

using PPP, set to either Soft or Hard (Hard is recommended). If you select

 

Soft with PPP, you must set the ACCM parameter when you configure PPP for

 

the Serial Port.

 

Data Options: Soft, Hard, Both, None

 

Default: None

Enable Inbound

Determines if input flow control is to be used.

Flow Control

Default: Enabled

Enable Outbound

Determines if output flow control is to be used.

Flow Control

Default: Enabled

Monitor DSR

Specifies whether the EIA-232 signal DSR (Data Set Ready) should be

 

monitored. This is used with modems or any device that sends a DSR signal.

 

When it is monitored and the IOLAN detects a DSR signal, the line profile is

 

started. If both Monitor DCD and Monitor DSR are enabled, both signals must

 

be detected before the line profile is started.

 

Default: Disabled

Monitor DCD

Specifies whether the EIA-232 signal DCD (Data Carrier Detect) should be

 

monitored. This is used with modems or any other device that sends a DCD

 

signal. When it is monitored and the IOLAN detects a DCD signal, the line

 

profile is started. If both Monitor DCD and Monitor DSR are enabled, both

 

signals must be detected before the line profile is started.

 

Default: Disabled

Enable Line

Used with EIA-422and EIA-485on SDS rack mount IOLAN models,

Termination

specifies whether or not the line is terminated; use this option when the serial

 

port is connected to a device at the end of the serial network.

 

Default: Disabled

Enable Echo

This parameter applies only to EIA-485 Half Duplex mode. All characters will

Suppression

be echoed to the user and transmitted across the serial ports. Some EIA-485

 

applications require local echo to be enabled in order to monitor the loopback

 

data to determine that line contention has occurred. If your application cannot

 

handle loopback data, echo suppression should be enabled.

 

Default: Disabled
