communication. It indicates the end of transmission.
Flow control Flow control manages data flow between devices in a network
to ensure it is processed efficiently. Too much data arriving
before a device is prepared to manage it causes lost or
retransmitted data.
The following table demonstrates some common Interface Mode (I/F) settings:
Table 6-1. Common Interface Mode Settings
Common I/F Mode Setting
RS-232C, 8-bit, No Parity, 1 stop bit
RS-232C, 7-bit, Even Parity, 1 stop bit
To configure advanced channel configurations:
4. From the Configure Device window for the WiBox unit, click the Ports tab. The
list of available ports display.
5. Click on a port number and click Edit Settings. The Port Properties window
opens.
6. Click the Advanced tab. In the available fields, change the following pull down
menu options as necessary:
Serial Settings
Baud Rate The unit and attached serial device, such as a modem, must
agree on a speed or baud rate to use for the serial connection.
Valid baud rates are 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600
(default), 19200, 38400, 57600, 115200, 230400, 460800, or
921600.
Data bits
Indicates the number of bits in a transmitted data package.
Flow control Flow control manages data flow between devices in a network
to ensure it is processed efficiently. Too much data arriving
before a device is prepared to manage it causes lost or
retransmitted data.
Stop bits The stop bit follows the data and parity bits in serial
communication. It indicates the end of transmission.
Parity Refers to the checking whether data has been lost or written
over when transmitted between computers. The default is
None.
UDP Datagram Mode
Datagram Mode When the UDP option is in effect, the unit never attempts to
initiate a TCP connection because it uses UDP datagrams to
send and receive data. Select True to enable Datagram
Mode.
Datagram Type
Configurable when Datagram Mode is set to True.
Configures remote IP or network broadcast address and the
remote port. Enter 01 for directed or broadcast UDP.
