NPort 6000 Series Additional Serial Port Settings
Port Communication Parameters
Port alias: This optional field allows you to assign an alias to a port for easier identification.
Serial Parameters
ATTENTION
The serial parameters for the each serial port on the NPort 6000 should match the parameters used by the
connected serial device. You may need to refer to your serial device’s user’s manual to determine the
appropriate serial communication parameters.
Baudrate (default=115200 bps): This field configures the port’s baudrate. Select one of the standard
baudrates from the dropdown box, or select Other and then type the desired baudrate in the input box.
ATTENTION
If the port require
s a special baudrate that is not listed, such as 500000 bps, you can select the Other
option
and enter the desired baudrate into the text box. The NPort 6000 will automatically calculate the closest
supported baudrate. The margin for error will be less tha
n 1.7% for all baudrates under 921600 bps.
Data bits (default=8): This field configures the data bits parameter. Note: If data bits is set to 5 bits, stop bits
will automatically be set to 2 bits.
Stop bits (default=1): This field configures the stop bits parameter. Note: If data bits is set to 5 bits, stop bits
will automatically be set to 1.5 bits.
Parity (default=None): This field configures the parity parameter.
Flow control (default=RTS/CTS): This field configures the flow control type, including RTS/CTS, DTR/DSR,
Xon/Xoff, RTS Toggle* and None.
* The RTS Toggle function is used for RS-232 mode only. This flow control mechanism is achieved by toggling
the RTS pin in the transmission direction. When activated, data will be sent after the RTS pin is toggled ON for
the specified time interval. After data transmission is finished, the RTS pin will toggle OFF for the specified
time interval. RTS Toggle is not supported under RFC2217 mode.
