Hardware Tab Field Descriptions
The Hardware tab configures all the serial port hardware connection information.
Configure the following parameters:
Serial Interface Specifies the type of serial line that is being used with the IOLAN.
Data Options: EIA-232, EIA-422, or EIA-485. TS2 models support only
EIA-232.
Default: EIA-232
Speed Specifies the baud rate of the serial line; keep in mind that speed is affected by
the length of the cable. You can also specify a custom baud rate. When you
enter a custom baud rate, the IOLAN will calculate the closest baud rate
available to the hardware. The exact baud rate calculated can be viewed in the
Serial Ports statistics.
Range: 50-230400, custom supports 50-1843200
Default: 9600
Data Bits Specifies the number of bits in a transmitted character.
Default: 8
