1.3.2 Channel 1 Configuration

The Channel 1 configuration defines how the serial port responds to network and serial communication.
To configure the channel's serial settings:
1. On the main menu, click Serial Settings (under Channel 1) to display the Serial Settings window.
2. In the available fields, enter the following information:
Port Settings
Protocol
Flow Control
Baud Rate
Data Bits
Parity
Stop Bits
Pack Control
Enable Packing
Idle Gap Time
3. When you are finished, click the OK button.
4. On the main menu, click Apply Settings.

gateway address must be within the local network.
Set to Auto Negotiate. With this option, the Ethernet port auto-
negotiates the speed and duplex with the hardware endpoint to
which it is connected. This is the default.
Must be RS485 2-wire OR RS422/RS485 4-wire
Flow control manages data flow between devices in a network to
ensure it is processed efficiently. Too much data arriving before a
device is prepared to manage it causes lost or retransmitted data.
None is the default.
The unit and attached serial device, such as a modem, must agree on
a speed or baud rate to use for the serial connection. Valid baud rates
are 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600 (default), 19200, 38400, 57600,
115200, 230400, 460800, or 921600.
Indicates the number of bits in a transmitted data package.
The default is 8.
Checks for the parity bit. The default is None.
The stop bit follows the data and parity bits in serial communication. It
indicates the end of transmission. The default is 1.
The standard algorithm is optimized for applications in which the unit is
used in a local environment, allowing for very small delays for single
characters, while keeping the packet count low.
Enable this option if you have problems sending small packets of data.
Select the maximum time for inactivity. The default time is 12
milliseconds.
