Port group settings
As a convenience feature, port groups can be created to send data to multiple ports. Instead of
sending data to individual serial ports, data can be sent to all ports in a group simultaneously
through a port in a group. If you select an additional option, you can also see the data from multiple
ports in the same group from a terminal connected to the one of serial ports in the group.
To configure a port group, you must create a port group first and then select ports to be associated
with this group. Maximum number of port group you can create is 16 and a port cannot be
associated with multiple groups. When you select ports to be associated with a group you can also
configure following settings.
 Show data from all ports associated with same port group: When selected, user can see the
data from other ports in the same group from a terminal connected to the one of serial ports in
the group. You can control the pattern of data from other ports in the same group.
− Send after the following number of bytes: Send the data to the other ports in the same
group after the specified number of bytes has been received on the serial port. This can be 1
to 4096 bytes. Default is 1024 bytes.
− Send after the following number of idle milliseconds: Send the data to the other ports in
the same group after the specified number of idle time has been passed with no additional
data received on the serial port. This can be 1 to 65,535 milliseconds. Default is 1000
milliseconds.
