click Submit. With TELNET or XCONFIG, use the following command:
SET PORT S1 CONSOLE ENABLED
You can remotely restore the port to normal serial operation by unselecting
Console Mode from WebXAdmin or by using the console command SET PORT
serialport CONSOLE DISABLED.
The serial ports are factory set at 115200bps, 8-bit data, CTS/RTS (Hardware)
flow control, and no parity. If your printer or serial device requires different set-
tings, you must use WebXAdmin or a console terminal connected to port S1 as
described in the previous paragraph. With WebXAdmin, select Configure Port
from the main menu, click on S1, choose the desired settings, and click Submit.
With the console terminal, use one or more of the following commands:
SET PORT S1 SPEED baudrate
SET PORT S1 PARITY parity_type
SET PORT S1 FLOW flowctrl
SET PORT S1 CHARACTER charsize
Note that the serial port always operates at 115200bps when in console mode.
