Digi Connect WAN Series User Manual page 112

Digi Connect WAN Family web interface
allows you to control and monitor various IA devices and PLCs. Serial ports for Digi Connect WAN IA
devices are set to use this port profile by default. The default settings for the Digi Connect WAN IA and
in this port profile is sufficient for most IA applications. If you need to change the settings from the
defaults, use the "set ia" command, documented in the Digi Connect® Family Command Reference.
Basic serial settings
The basic serial port settings must match the serial settings of the connected device. If you do not
know these settings consult the documentation that came with your serial device. These serial
settings may be documented as 9600 8N1, which means that the device is using a baud rate of 9600
bits per second, 8 data bits, no parity, and 1 stop bit.
When using RealPort (COM port redirection) these settings are supplied by applications running on the
PC or server, and the default values on your Digi device server do not need to be changed.
The possible settings are as follows:
Description: Specifies an optional character string for the port which can be used to identify
n
the device connected to the port.
Baud Rate: Select the baud rate value for the serial device.
n
Data Bits: Select the data bits value for the serial device.
n
Parity: Select the parity for the serial device.
n
Stop Bits: Select the stop bit value for the serial device.
n
Flow Control: Select the flow control value for the serial device.
n
Advanced serial settings
Use Advanced Serial Settings to configure the serial interface and the access to the serial interface.
The default settings work in most situations.

Log Size: The size in kilobytes of the memory buffer used to save serial data when port logging
n
is enabled.
Automatic backup: The port data is stored to specified location automatically.
n
Unlimited automatic backup size: When enabled, the automatic backup size is not limited.
n
Automatic backup size: This option defines the amount of the log to backup at a time.
