TROY Group MAN-EXT2000 manual Baudrate

The serial ports are factory set at 9600bps, 8-bit data, XON/ XOFF flow control, and no parity. If your printer requires different settings, you must use WebXAdmin or the console terminal (refer to Chapter 2 and Appendix A for information on how to use these utilities) to change the settings. With WebXAdmin, select Configure Port from the main menu, click on the serial port (S1 for first serial port or S2 for the XConnect 100 second serial port), choose the desired settings, and click Submit. With the console terminal, use one or more of the following commands (use S2 instead of S1 if you are using the second serial port on the XConnect 100):

SET	PORT	S1	SPEED	baudrate
SET	PORT	S1	PARITY	parity_type
SET	PORT	S1	FLOW flowctrl
SET	PORT	S1	CHARACTER charsize

Note that the serial port always operates at 9600bps when in console mode. Also, if you are using 115200bps on one port of the XConnect 100, you cannot set the other port to 230400 bps (57600bps and 7200bps are not supported on either port).

Important: The serial ports do not support Direct Memory Access (DMA). Therefore, sustained transfers at high baud rates (115200 or greater) can lock out activity on other ports.

Don't forget to set your serial port settings on your printer to match the settings of the print server. Also, make sure that the XConnect II or XConnect II Lite switch 4 (console/serial printer) is in the proper position (OFF if you are using the serial port for a console terminal or ON if you are using it to connect a printer.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Early versions of the XConnect 100 do not support the second serial port (the one marked "Console/
