If you want to change a protocol, device address or another port setting, type your
new setting after the “New:” prompt and press Enter. To leave the setting unchanged,
just press Enter.
The following table lists available communication options:

CTS Protocol
When enabled, the port waits for
the CTS signal before sending data
N - disabled
Y - enabled
N
RTS Protocol
When enabled, the RTS signal is
asserted 5 ms before sending data
and during the transmission
N/Y N
Transmission
delay
The minimum time that should
elapse after the last request
character is received to start the
transmission. Increase it if your RS-
485 port or converter fails to switch
the direction of the transmission
fast enough so your application
could lose characters.
0-1000 ms
5
Inter-character
Timeout
The maximum delay for which the
port should wait for a new character
to arrive while the receive line is
inactive. It is used with Modbus
RTU and DNP3.0 protocols to end a
reception of a message.
0-1000 ms

The Interface setting need not be changed. All serial ports currently work in half-
duplex mode regardless of the selected interface option.
The modem port (COM5) has a default baud rate of 57600 bps. It is recommended
not to decrease it in order not to affect the port performance.
