4: Serial Port Configuration
Serial port configuration screen can be reached through menu 2 in the main menu screen. Serial port
configuration menu contains four groups of the parameters such as Host mode configuration, UART
configuration, Cryptography configuration and additional options for serial data communication. Users
need to set up all those parameters for each serial port considering the serial device that will be
hooked up to the serial port.
- Host mode: Host mode related parameters for each serial port
- UART: Serial communication parameters such as baud rate, parity, data bits, stop bits, etc.
- Cryptography: Encryption related parameters for data communication
- Options: Timer related parameters for data communication
The following picture shows the initial screen of Serial Port configuration menu of the PS400. With the
PS100, only port#1 settings menu will be shown, while with the PS200, port#1 and port#2 settings
menu will be shown.
