UART/FIFO Configuration
To configure the Echo Enhanced Driver for the appropriate
UART type please follow these steps:
1. From the
CONTROL PANEL double click on the SYSTEM icon.
2. The
SYSTEM PROPERTIES dialog box will pop up and click
on the DEVICE MANAGER tab.
3. Double click the
PORTS (COM & LPT) section.
4. Double click the COM port you want to change. This will
bring up a
PROPERTIES page.
5. Click on the
ENHANCED PORT SETTINGS tab.
6. Click on the
ADVANCED button. The ADVANCED PORT
SETTINGS dialog box will pop up.
7. Check the
USE FIFO BUFFERS box and select the 16554
UART choice. When you select USE FIFO BUFFERS you
enable the two sliders labeled RECEIVE BUFFER and
TRANSMIT BUFFER
. Moving a slider to the right, enables more
buffering resulting in higher speeds and lower load on the
system. However high buffer levels can cause connection
problems. Usually it is best to set the
RECEIVE BUFFER at one
notch below the highest setting and the TRANSMIT BUFFER at
the highest setting. Then click
OK.
