Demark Timer expires before the serial butter is full. Enter 512 (typical) for this
TIM application.
Demark Timer – Enter the maximum time (from 10 to 30,000 milliseconds) that the
TIM should wait for activity on the serial port to cease before sending a response
back to the network client (presuming that at least one byte was received). Enter
50 (typical) for this TIM application.
Response Timeout – (This field is ignored unless the “Half Duplex” option is set; it
does not apply to this TIM application.) Enter the desired timeout (from 10 to 30000
milliseconds). If a response is not received from the serial port within the specified
time, the port is released and the terminal receiver will not read any more serial data
until the next request is received. Enter 1000 (typical) for this TIM application.
Serial Ports Table – The Serial Ports Table (brown background) is part of the Terminal
Server configuration. At least one row in the Serial Ports Table must be configured for
the Terminal Server to work properly.
COM Port – Select the serial port (COM2 or COM3) from the drop-down list.
To avoid conflicts, this port must not be configured for any other use by the TIM.
Select “COM2” (typical) for this TIM application.
Baud Rate – Select the desired baud rate (1200 to 115, 200) for the Terminal Server
port. Select “9600” (typical) for this TIM application.
Data Bits – Select the number of data bits (5 to 8) to use for the Terminal Server port.
Select “8” (typical) for this TIM application.
Parity – Select the parity for use with the port. Select “None” (typical) for this TIM
application.
Stop Bits – Select the number of stop bits for use with this port. Select “1” (typical)
for this TIM application.
Flow Control – Select the method for use with this port. Select “None” (typical) for
this TIM application.
