If you want to change a protocol, device address or another port setting, type your
new setting after the “New:” prompt and press Enter. To leave the setting unchanged,
just press Enter.

CTS Protocol
When enabled, the port waits for the
CTS signal before sending data
N - disabled
Y - enabled

RTS Protocol
When enabled, the RTS signal is
asserted 5 ms before sending data
and during the transmission
N/Y
N
Transmission
delay
The minimum time that should
elapse after the last request
character is received to start the
transmission. Increase it if your RS-
485 port or converter fails to switch
the direction of the transmission fast
enough so your application could
lose characters.
0-1000 ms
5
Inter-character
Timeout
The maximum delay for which the
port should wait for a new character
to arrive while the receive line is
inactive. It is used with Modbus
RTU and DNP3.0 protocols to end a
reception of a message.
0-1000 ms

The Interface setting need not be changed. All serial ports currently work in half-
duplex mode regardless of the selected interface option.
The modem port (COM5) has a default baud rate of 57600 bps. It is recommended
not to decrease it in order not to affect the port performance.
The CTS and RTS protocol options are available only for the COM1 port when a
connection is made through the RS-232 connector (CTS protocol is not supported in
the standard firmware version).
