The default communications settings should be set to 115200 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, and 1 stop bit. This is sometimes referred to as 115200,8,N,1. No flow control is used. ANSI terminal emulation should be selected TS3-C10 Page 12 of 31...

The TS3-C10 uses string commands to communicate with the host system. These can be sent via the virtual serial port of the TS3-C10 directly, or the API can be used to provide other protocols that sends translated string commands. LiveViewer can use the API to interact with the devices through a user friendly application.

Within your hub there are some specific controllable settings called "none volatile RAM settings" which are referred to as NVRAM settings. These control a variety of different settings on your TS3-C10. You can navigate to the NVRAM settings by opening LiveViewer, and selecting the Hub you want to connect to.
5.5.3 Cambrionix API Cambrionix API allows you to monitor and control each port in more detail and to integrate these functions into your own workflow processes. The API comprises a daemon that can be downloaded from www.cambrionix.com/products/api and installed on the host machine. Port information and control can be provided through the API using JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) Remote Procedure Calls (RPC) over TCP.
