Advanced serial settings
The advanced serial settings further define the serial interface, including whether port buffering
(also known as port logging), or RTS Toggle are enabled, as general serial interface options. You
can also define how specific aspects of TCP and UDP serial communications should operate,
including timeouts and whether a socket ID is sent.
Serial Settings
The Serial Settings part of the page includes these options:
 Enable Port Logging: Enables the port-buffering feature, which allows you to monitor
incoming ASCII serial data in log form. The Log Size field specifies the size of the buffer that
contains the log of ASCII serial data. The Automatic backup option specifies the storage
location of port log and the automatic backup size specifies its size. The SYSLOG service
option enables to send port log to the SYSLOG server specified on Network configuration ->
Network service settings -> Advanced network services settings -> SYSLOG service
settings.
 Enable RTS Toggle: When enabled, the RTS (Request to Send) signal is forced high (on) when
sending data on the serial port.
 Enable DCD on 8-pin RJ45 connectors (Altpin): When enabled, the functions of DCD pin
and DSR pin are swapped so that eight-wire RJ-45 cables can be used with modems
