Figure 56 - Serial Port Setup screen for Raw UDP mode

Step

Procedure

Description

‰

Step 1

Select the serial port you want to

configure.

Click on a port number to select that

port. The selections on the screen are
automatically populated with any

existing parameters for the selected port.

‰

Step 2

Click on the Raw UDP Operating Mode

selector.

Raw UDP allows an SDS device to

perform one to many transmissions.
You will find directions for configuring

ports in Normal, Tunneling, Raw TCP

and Auto TCP modes mode in the
previous sections.

‰

Step 3a

Configure the Operating mode.
Click on the desired data Rate Multiplier.
Your choices are:

¾

Auto (Recommended)

¾

Force X2 mode

¾

Force X4 mode

¾

Force X8 mode

The auto setting has no effect on the

baud rate you set. However, if you select

X2, X4, or X8, the baud rate of the serial
port will be the baud rate that you set

multiplied by 2, 4, or 8, respectively.

Note: Forcing a change in the data rate may
cause communication problems with some
serial devices. If this is the case, change the
setting back to Auto (Recommended).

‰

Step 3b

Click on the desired Performance

Selector.

Choose balanced mode except in those

cases where the serial device cannot

tolerate the slight delays inherent in
normal TCP/IP operation.

Balanced mode offers excellent

performance for most applications.
Low Latency mode heavily favors
