SETTING THE SERIAL PORT
These are the factory set serial port parameters for the Configuration PC.
Change these defaults with care.
?? Baud rate: 115200 (default).
?? Parity: None (default).
?? Data Bits: 8 (default).
?? Stop Bits: 1 (default).
?? Handshaking:
It is suggested that the handshaking defaults not be changed.
?? Xon/Xoff OFF
?? Rts/Cts ON (Request to Send/Clear to Send)
?? Dtr/Dsr OFF (Data Terminal Ready/Data Set Ready)
?? From the drop down list, select the COM port to be used. The term COM port
refers to those hardware connections usually located on the back of the computer
to which cables are connected, allowing the computer to COMmunicate with other
devices (like a printer or an OS2400 radio).
The OS2400 Setup Application automatically determines and displays the available
serial ports.
NOTE:
The determination of the designation (name) of each COM port can be accomplished
several ways:
?? look for a label at the connector on the back of the PC.
?? consult the computer’s documentation.
?? experiment, trial and error.
?? check (and or adjust) the PC’s BIOS configuration.
?? Select OK.
In general, the factory set defaults will not have to be changed. For an illustration of the
factory default serial port settings see Serial Port Factory Default Settings.
