Tripp Lite USB to Serial Adapter User’s Manual

Setting advanced options

Notes: Changing any setting in the advanced options window affects all ports on the USB to Serial Adapter.

The USB to Serial Adapter port properties can only be altered from the Device Manager window. Attempting to access these properties from another software program generates an error message box that refers you to the Device Manager.

See Exploring Device Manager screens on page 31 for help in navigating through the Device Manager screens.

Data rate multiplier

Notes: We recommend leaving the Data Rate Multiplier in Auto mode unless the application specifically requires otherwise.

The USB to Serial Adapter uses an accelerated UART clock frequency to boost data rates to as high as 460,800 bits per second. This setting determines the amount of data rate acceleration applied.

Auto (default)

Note: This setting is suitable for most applications.

Select this radio button to allow the USB serial port device drivers to automatically adjust the clock as necessary. The software application can request any desired baud rate up to 460,800 bits per second.

Force X1 mode

Note: This setting will not enhance most applications.

Select this radio button to limit each serial port to a maximum of 115,200 bits per second. The software application can request any desired baud rate up to 115,200 bits per second.

Force X2 mode

Note: This setting allows applications not capable of asking for higher baud rates to achieve them.

Select this radio button to allow each serial port to run at a maximum of 230,400 bits per second. The software application can request any desired baud rate up to 115,200 bits per second. The actual baud rate will be two (2) times higher than requested.

Force X4 mode

Note: This setting allows applications not capable of asking for higher baud rates to achieve them.

Select this radio button to allow each serial port to run at a maximum of 460,800 bits per second. The software application can request any desired baud rate up to 115,200 bits per second. The actual baud rate will be four (4) times higher than requested.
