TruePort Baud Rate Tab

Overview

The TruePort utility acts as a COM port redirector that allows applications to talk to serial devices
across a network as though the serial devices were directly attached to the server. For IOLAN I/O
models, you can also monitor and control I/O through the TruePort client.

Functionality

Since some older applications may not support the higher baud rates that the IOLAN is capable of
achieving, the baud rate can be mapped to a different value on the IOLAN. Through TruePort, you
can map the baud rate of the host COM port to a higher baud rate for the serial line that connects the
serial device and the IOLAN. See

TruePort on page 375

for more information about the TruePort

utility.

Field Definitions

Configure the following parameter:

Actual Baud Rate

The actual baud rate that runs between the IOLAN and the connected serial
device.

Range: 50-230400, you can also specify a custom baud rate
