Serial Port Connection - Teledyne BOA Spot ID Series Quick Start Manual

Serial Port Connection

The RS-232 serial port is exposed through the I/O connector and available on the PL-
101 module. By default, the serial port settings are set as follows:
Port definition
Baud Rate
Data Bits
Parity
Stop Bits
Flow Control
These port settings can be changed through the GUI by configuring the "RS232 Stream
Settings" in the Setup Control panel. Refer to the on-line help for details.
RS-232 Hardware Configuration
Electrically, three (3) signals are required to make a serial port connection between
BOA Spot and another device as shown below. RS232 is a "point-to-point" connection,
so the Receive and Transmit lines must be crossed in the cable.
