Configure Digi devices
Advanced serial settings
The advanced serial settings allow you to further define the serial interface, including 
whether port buffering (also known as port logging), RTS Toggle, and RCI over Serial 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. 
 Enable RTS Toggle: When enabled, the RTS (Request To Send) signal is 
forced high (on) when sending data on the serial port. 
 Enable RCI over Serial (DSR): This choice allows the Digi Connect device to 
be configured through the serial port using the RCI protocol. See the RCI 
specification in the Digi Connect Integration Kit for further details. 
RCI over Serial uses the DSR (Data Set Ready) serial signal. Verify that the 
serial port is not configured for autoconnect, modem emulation, or any other 
application which is dependent on DSR state changes.
