2.4Serial Port Configuration

Device

The U4600 has one external serial port. A “device” must be assigned once to the serial

assignments

port, but no “device” may be assigned more than once. In addition, more than one device

 

may be assigned at one time but only one device which accepts input may be assigned. (If

 

multiple devices are assigned to the serial port, the port’s settings are controlled by the

 

device with higher priority according to the list below.) Device port assignment and device

 

configuration (see below) may be controlled only from the unit front panel and the network

 

may disable this capability. The possible devices are:

 

1.

Terminal

 

2. Modem (“modem” being remote terminal via modem)

 

3.

Local COMPEL®

 

4.

Auxiliary Data

 

5. Printer (including COMPEL® e-mail and reports)

Device

When

a serial

port configuration command is received, the specified configuration is

configurations

immediately stored for the specified device (e.g. for the “Terminal” device). If a serial port

 

is currently assigned another device, then its output buffer is immediately flushed and the

 

port re-configured. Communication is fixed at 1 start, 1 stop, and 8 data bits, with no hard-

 

ware handshaking. No provision for software handshaking is made in this Release. The

 

serial port’s behavior for each of its device types is described in the following table.
