Resource
The Processor Unit can have several serial ports. This is the identification
of the communication port. The serial ports are normally named COM1,
COM2 and so on.
Baud Rate
This is the current baud rate specified for the serial line. The communication
parameters defined for NMEA 0183 are:
•
Baud rate
•
Data bits
•
Parity
•
Stop bits
Some instruments may provide other parameters and/or options. You
must always check the relevant technical documentation supplied by the
manufacturer.
Protocol
This is the current protocol specified for the port. Each port can receive
multiple datagrams simultaneously, provided that they all use the same
protocol. However, only one peripheral device can be physically connected
to the port. If you want to connect several peripheral devices to a single serial
port, you must route them through a "mixer". This can be a hardware unit or
a computer (with relevant software) collecting and streaming the datagrams.
Input
This column identifies the external sensor (any type of "measuring device")
that is currently connected to the port. To choose what type of device to
import data from, select
LAN Ports
This table shows the Ethernet (LAN) ports you have available. Each Ethernet
adapter supports any number of network ports. Select
Ports that have not been initiated correctly have a red background colour.
Name
This is the given identity of the network (LAN) port. By default, the ports
are numbered.

device is set up to only import data from the device, the remote IP address is
not required. If you want to export information to one or more peripheral
devices (Broadcast mode), set
