™ [ASCII Port 0] ........................................................................................ 19
In order for the ASCII driver to function, a minimum amount of configuration data
must be transferred to the module from the module's file system. Care must be
taken in constructing the module configuration parameters. If the module does
not function as expected, examine the configuration file using the Debugger Port
on the module. All configuration parameters for the driver are found under the
[ASCII Port x] section. The x in the section name will have a value of 0 to 3
corresponding to the appropriate ASCII port.
After setting up the configuration file, download it to the module using ProSoft
Configuration Builder.

Yes or No
This flag specifies if the port on the module will be utilized. If the parameter is set
to No, the port will not be used. If the parameter is set to Yes, the port will be
used supporting the ASCII protocol.
