from a remote location. For more information regarding using the VNC Servers to remotely

Configuring Network Listening Ports
Network Listening ports can respond
to incoming requests whenever the
System 5000
™
is not in its low-power
sleep. The System Timeout can be
disabled in the System Settings to
prevent the System 5000
™
from
entering its low-power sleep. Few
settings are needed to configure a
network port: the network port itself,
and the network mode/interface.
Mode
Most ports will use TCP as their
interface. UDP, if needed, can also
be selected.
Configuring Serial Listening Ports
Serial Listening ports can respond to
incoming requests at any time. Serial
ports have many options to configure
the port exactly as needed.
Mode
Displays the current serial port
setup. To modify the setup, press
the Edit button.
The following standard serial port
options can be customized: baud rate,
data bits, parity, stop bits, etc. Most
programs allow flow control as well as
transmit delays to be configured. If a
Modbus Slave program is selected, the Modbus Slave ID as well as mode (RTU or ASCII) will
become available as part of the Serial Port Setup.
