Note: Baud rates 460800 and 921600 are available for
selection only when CPU performance mode is set to High."
Data Bits
Indicates the number of bits in a transmitted data package.
The default is 8.
Parity
Checks for the parity bit. The default is None.
Stop Bits
The stop bit follows the data and parity bits in serial
communication. It indicates the end of transmission. The
default is 1.
Pack Control
Select to enable packing on the XPort module.
Two firmware-selectable packing algorithms define how and
when packets are sent to the network.
The standard algorithm is optimized for applications in which
the unit is used in a local environment, allowing for very small
delays for single characters, while keeping the packet count
low.
The alternate packing algorithm minimizes the packet count
on the network and is especially useful in applications in a
routed Wide Area Network (WAN). Adjusting parameters in
this mode can economize the network data stream.
Disabled by default.
Select the maximum time for inactivity. The default time is
12 milliseconds.
Use to indicate the end of a series of data to be sent as one
group. The sequence must occur sequentially to indicate end
of the data collection to the XPort device services. The default
is No.
Use to indicate the end of a series of data to be sent as one
group. Set this value to 00 if specific functions are not needed.
After the detection of the byte sequence, indicates whether to
send the data frame or the entire buffer. Select Yes to send
only the data frame. The default setting is No.
Select the number of bytes to send after the end-of-sequence
characters. The default is None.
Flush Input Buffer (Serial to Network)
With Active Connect
Select Yes to clear the input buffer with a connection that is
initiated from the device to the network. The default is No.
With Passive Connect
Select Yes to clear the input buffer with a connection initiated
from the network to the device. The default is No.
Select Yes to clear the input buffer when the network
connection to or from the device is disconnected. The default
is No.
