Introduction
The Serial section is used to configure the serial ports on your IOLAN. The
following configuration windows are available:
z Serial Ports—Configures the type of connection that the serial port is
being used for. This is accomplished by selecting a connection profile and
then configuring the applicable parameters for that profile. See
Serial
Ports on page 113 for more information.
z Port Buffering—Configures serial port data buffering preferences. See
Port Buffering on page 194 for more information.
z Advanced—Configures those parameters that are applicable to specific
environments. You will find modem and TruePort configuration options, in addition to others,
here. See
Advanced on page 197 for more information.
Serial Ports
Overview
Each IOLAN serial port can be connected to serial device. Each serial port can then be configured
according to a serial port profile that coincides with the serial device attached to that serial port and
how the serial device is accessed/used.
Functionality
When you select the Serial Ports navigation option, you will see a list with the number of serial ports
on your IOLAN. As you configure the serial ports, the information for each serial port is displayed.
To configure/change a serial port, click the Edit button.
