1. Log into the Connect EZ WebUI as a user with Admin access.
2. On the menu, click System. Under Configuration, click Serial Configuration.
The Serial Configuration page is displayed.
Note You can also configure the serial port by using Device Configuration > Serial. Changes
made by using either Device Configuration or Serial Configuration will be reflected in both.
3. Click the name of the port that you want to configure.
The serial port is enabled by default. To disable, toggle off Enable.
4. For Mode, select RealPort.
5. Select an option from the Sharing Mode list box to determine which user(s) can change the
port settings, and whether users can receive data from the port.
n None: Only the user that opened the port can change the port settings. All other users
are rejected. No other users can receive data from the port. This is the default.
n Primary: Only the user that opened the port can change the port settings. All other
users that try to open the port receive all of the data read to the port.
n Peer: Any user that tries to open the port can change the port settings. All users that try
to open the port receive all of the data read to the port.
6. (Optional) For Label, enter a label that will be used when referring to this port.
7. Enable Altpin to use the Altpin feature. Altpin is disabled by default.
This feature should be enabled when you are using a modem and an 8-pin cable and you need
CD(Carrier Detect). When enabled, the DTR on pin 1 drives DCD.
If altpin is disabled, the hardware signal on RJ45 pin 1 becomes DSR instead of DCD. This
alternative can be used if DCD is not required, and DSR is needed instead.
8. For Signalling, select the electrical signaling interface type used on this serial port:
n RS-232
l Enable RTS Toggle if you want to enable RTStoggling during transmission on this
serial port. If enabled, this setting overrides RTS\CTSflow control.
l For RTS Pre-delay, enter the amount of time RTSis asserted before starting data
transmission. The time is measured in milliseconds. The default is 0ms.
l For RTS Post-delay, enter the amount of time RTSis deasserted before completing
data transmission. The time is measured in milliseconds. The default is 0ms.
