Serial Port Profiles
Hardware Tab Field Descriptions
The Hardware tab configures all the serial port hardware connection information. The window below
shows an SDS1 model; your Hardware tab might display a subset of the parameters described,
depending on the IOLAN model and supported hardware.
Configure the following parameters:
Serial Interface Specifies the type of serial line that is being used with the IOLAN.
Data Options: EIA-232, EIA-422, or EIA-485.
SCS/STS/MDC models support only EIA-232.
Default: EIA-232
Speed Specifies the baud rate of the serial line; keep in mind that speed is affected by
the length of the cable. You can also specify a custom baud rate. When you
enter a custom baud rate, the IOLAN will calculate the closest baud rate
available to the hardware. The exact baud rate calculated can be viewed in the
Serial Ports statistics.
Range: 50-230400, custom supports 50-1843200
Default: 9600
Data Bits Specifies the number of bits in a transmitted character.
Default: 8
Parity Specifies the type of parity being used for the data communication on the serial
port. If you want to force a parity type, you can specify
Mark for 1or Space for
0.
Data Options: Even, Odd, Mark, Space, None
Default: None
Stop Bits Specifies the number of stop bits that follow a byte.
Data Options: 1,1.5, 2. 1.5 is only available on the 1-port and 2-port models,
but not on the modem line (Serial Port 2) of the SDS1M model.
Default: 1
