n EIA-422/EIA-485: The serial port uses electrical interface EIA-485. You can use this mode for
EIA-422 connections. This interface uses two wires to both transmit and receive data. This
interface also allows for multiple transmitters and receivers to be easily connected together.
For EIA-485 mode, there are several additional settings:
l 2 wires | 4 wires: Selects the number of differential wires used for communication and
implicitly determines the duplex of the connection.
2 wires: The serial port operates in two-wire mode. This mode is a half-duplex connection
with shared transmit and receive wires.
4 wires: The serial port operates in four-wire mode. This mode is a full-duplex connection
with independent transmit and receive pairs.
The default is 4 wires.
l Enable termination: Determines whether termination and biasing resistors are used
across the lines. If enabled, termination and biasing resistors are enabled across the lines.
Enable termination if the terminal/server port is an endpoint node on the 485 network. Use
biasing in at least one unit in a two-wire environment. If disabled, termination and biasing
resistors are disabled across the lines. The default is disabled.
Advanced serial settings
Use Advanced Serial Settings to configure the serial interface and the access to the serial interface.
The default settings work in most situations.
Serial settings
n Enable Port Logging: Port logging allows you to save serial data to the memory of the Digi
device server. Once enabled, the port log can be viewed by selecting Port Logs on the Serial
Port Management page (Management > Serial Ports). Port Logging is enabled in the CLI via
the set buffer command.
n Log Size: The size in kilobytes of the memory buffer used to save serial data when port logging
is enabled.
n Automatic backup: The port data is stored to specified location automatically.
n Unlimited automatic backup size: When enabled, the automatic backup size is not limited.
n Automatic backup size: This option defines the amount of the log to backup at a time.
n Enable SYSLOG service: The port data can be stored to the SYSLOG server in addition to the
port log storage location at the same time.
n Enable RTS Toggle: When enabled, the Digi device asserts RTS (Request To Send) when
sending data on the serial port.
