W&T Com-Server++ - Serial Parameters (UART Setup)

W&T Configuration of the serial port
9�1 The serial parameters (Menu: UART Setup)
All RS232 parameters relevant to operation are configured in
the submenu Setup Port x r UART Setup. An overview of the
entire configuration tree can be found in the section Structure
of the Configuration Menu.
If you are using the device in conjunction with the W&T COM
Port Redirector, it is not necessary to configure the serial
parameters in the Com-Server. The COM Port Redirector auto-
matically sets the parameters needed by the serial application
in the Com-Server.

The settings only become active after saving with
SAVE Setup or pressing Save on the Logout page.
9�1�1 Baud rate, Data bits, Stop bits, Parity
The desired transmission parameters can be selected by en-
tering the corresponding designation in the respective branch
of the menu tree. Invoking Save Setup in the master menu or
Save on the WBM logout page saves the changes you made in
the non-volatile memory of the Com-Server and simultaneous-
ly activates them.
Freely selectable baud rate (Special Baud Divisor)
In the submenu Special Baud Divisor you can enter any desi-
red divisor for generating the baud rate. This makes it possib-
le to work even with non-standard baud rates. The baud rate
and divisor are calculated using the following formulas.

The maximum baud rate of the Com-Server++ is 230,4kBd,
which corresponds to a divisor of 11.
