Description
57600
Defines the transfer speed with which the reader com-
municates via the integrated RS232 interface in [bps]
Odd
Sets the parity of the RS232 interface
1
Defines the number of stop bits used
0
0: There is no transfer of cyclic monitoring frames to
•
test the connection.
Otherwise: Time in seconds after which a monitoring
•
frame is sent to check the connection. The check is
implemented by sending the "Idling string" to the re-
cipient at the configured interval. This mechanism can
be used by the recipient to set up connection monitor-
ing.
