8.3 SCM COM1 Operating Modes
The SCM can be configured to manage different data flow paths
defined by the com1_mode environment variable.
In through mode
(the default), all data and control signals flow from the system COM1
port through the SCM to the active external port.
You can also set
bypass modes so that the signals partially or completely bypass the
SCM. The com1_mode environment variable can be set from either
SRM or the SCM. See Section 8.7.1.
