Peripherals Tab
To access the Peripherals tab, you must first select a device from the Device List
and, when the Device tab opens, click the Peripherals Tab. Whether you navigate to the
Peripherals tab from an encoder or a decoder, the functionality is the same.
Figure 26. Peripherals Tab
The Peripherals screen is used to manage the Coms pass‑through serial port and the
mouse+keyboard forwarding operation.
RS-232 pass-through serial port
The RS‑232 pass‑through serial port supports two modes of operation:
z
Serial RS‑232 pass‑through mode
z Serial RS‑232 data channel mode
In either mode, the serial ports on each VNM 250 do not need to share a common baud
rate. However, where large amounts of data are sent from a high‑speed to a low‑speed data
link, some form of handshaking or flow control may be required to prevent buffer overflow
on the output device. Standard flow control methods are fully supported.
