Basic Configuration
• CommandEcho: Enables or Disables command echo at this Serial Port. When
disabled, commands that are sent to the Serial Port will still be invoked, but the
actual keystrokes will not be displayed on your monitor. (Default = On)
• AcceptBreak: Determines whether the port will accept breaks received from the
attached device. When enabled, breaks received at the port will be passed to any
port that this port is connected to. When disabled, breaks will be refused at this
port. (Default = On)
PortModeParameters:
• PortName: Allows you to assign a name to the Serial Port. (Defaults; Serial Ports
1 and above = undefined; Internal Modem Port (if present) = MODEM)
• PortMode: The operation mode for this port. (Defaults; Serial Port 1 = Any-to-
Any Mode; Serial Ports 2 and above = Passive, Internal Modem Port (if present) =
Modem Mode)

Depending on the Port Mode selected, the TSM/RSM will also display the additional
prompts listed below. In the Text Interface, these parameters are accessible via a
submenu, which will only be active when the appropriate port mode is selected. In
the Web Browser Interface, fields will be "grayed out" unless the corresponding port
mode is selected.
Any-to-AnyModeandPassiveMode:Allows communication with a local PC
and permits access to command mode. When Any-to-Any Mode or Passive
Mode are selected, the following mode specific parameter can also be defined:
DTROutput: Determines how DTR will react when the port disconnects. DTR
can be held low, held high, or pulsed for 0.5 seconds and then held high.
(Default = Pulse)
BufferMode: When the Buffer Mode is selected, the following mode specific
parameters may be defined:
Date/TimeStamp: Enables/disables the Time/Date stamp for buffered data at
this port. When enabled, the TSM/RSM will add a time/date stamp whenever
five seconds elapse between data items received. (Default = On)
BufferConnect: When enabled, the TSM/RSM will continue to Buffer
captured data while you are connected to this Buffer Mode port.
(Default = Off)
