Special settings for "Direct connection" mode

In the Direct connection setting, the fields are activated in the lower section of the dialog box: you can set the transmission pa- rameters for the COM port at the PC:

Select the masked-in setting if you have no reason to reject it. In the event of malfunctions, reduce the speed in the Bits per second window. Set your communication software likewise to this value.

In the case of changes, only permitted values are accepted in the individual fields, even for manual inputs.

"Local station" tab

Changing a name

The purpose of station names is to provide a rapid overview. The lokale Station must be called "PC". The Partnerstations should if possible be named after the peripheral device connected, e.g. "Modem".

Station names can be changed in the name field in which you change or enter the name. Names can contain letters, digits and blanks. The name must not contain more than 20 characters.
