4.5.1 Serial > Summary
The Serial > Summary window gives a summary of the on board serial data port. A second serial port can
be added to the pMDDL OEM by interfacing a FTDI USB to Basic UART IC as shown in Appendix D:
Serial Port Extension.
GS0 - If the pMDDL has been set to USB Device mode (Pin 14 connected to GND through a 1K resistor),
the GS0 tab will appear and the USB port can be used to connect to a USB host that has the Microhard
Composite Drivers installed. The USB port will appear as a serial device on the host system.
The Summary window shows a number of status items that aid in viewing the operation, statistics, and
troubleshooting of the RS232 & USB Serial Ports.
General Status
• Port Status - Shows if the RS232 has been enabled in the configuration.
• Baud Rate - The current baud rate used to interface with the connected device.
• Connect As - The type of IP Protocol Config is displayed here (TCP, UDP, SMTP, PPP, etc)
• Connect Status - Shows if there are any current connections / if the port is active.
