After mapping baud rates, tap ok to have the changes take effect. Alternatively, tap Advanced Options to modify
flow control properties or set a custom baud rate.
Notes:
The To: field lists one custom baud rate, signified by an asterisk (*). The number changes when you create a new
custom baud rate.
After mapping a baud rate, the placeholder’s original speed will no longer be available unless you re-map it to the
original value.
Most serial applications use standard baud rates. If you are not sure which baud rate to choose, do not use a
custom baud rate.
Make sure the new baud rate does not exceed the maximum baud rate for your card (see chart on page 12)
WARNING! DO NOT set the baud rate higher than the maximum baud rate for your Serial I/O Card, or
you may experience functionality problems!
Use Advanced Options
WARNING! In most communication settings, these options need no modification. Do not alter these
options if you do not understand their function, or you may cause functionality problems with existing
communication settings.
Modify Flow Control Properties
In the Advanced screen, tap Advanced Options. The next screen will let you modify flow control options.
Use the check boxes and bullets to modify flow control properties.
If your application expects certain signals not supported by your Data Communication Equipment (DCE) hardware,
you may want to use a “simulate” option. Examples of DCE include modems, printers, etc.
Simulate DCD (Data Carrier Detect) —DCE receives a carrier signal from the other end of the telephone circuit.
Simulate CTS (Clear to Send) — DCE is clear to send.
Simulate DSR (Data Set Ready) — DCE is ready to send data from the terminal.
If your DCE expects certain signals not supported by your application, you may want to use a “force” option.
Force DTR (Data Terminal Ready) — Can be used for hardware control. Control signal sent from the DTE to the DCE
indicates that the DTE is powered on and ready to communicate.
