Serial Port Configuration
If the data serial port needs to be modified, that may be done by option “0”.
Each radio has two serial ports for communication; one is a lower speed diagnostics port and the second
is a high speed data port. The ports are configured at the time of order for either 3.5V or 5V operation
at Xetawave and are not modifiable in the field. The ports are typically configured as 8 bits of data with
no parity and 1 stop bit by default. The diagnostics port does not have hardware flow control while the
data port does have hardware flow control.
The diagnostics port should always be configured to the parameters as listed under the HyperTerminal
subsection, but the configuration for the data serial port is editable through this menu. In order to
communicate, the computer’s serial port needs to have the same configuration as listed by this menu
where, in this example:
Baud rate would be set to 115200. Data bits, parity, and stop bits are given by the three characters in
the Data serial framing field. So in this case there are 8 data bits, no parity, and 1 stop bit. The flow
control should always be set to hardware.
Option “0” is selected to modify the baud rate.
Option “1” is selected to modify the serial framing on the data port.
