Must be RS232 for the NET232
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.
