2.3.9 Stop
Bits
1 or 2
Stop bits signal the end of a character in the data stream. For most applications,
use one stop bit. For slower devices that require more time to resynchronize, use
two stop bits.
All devices communicating through this port must use the same number of stop
bits.
2.3.10 Minimum Response Delay
0 to 65535
This parameter sets the number of milliseconds to wait to respond to a request
on the port. This is required for slow reacting devices.
2.3.11 RTS On
0 to 65535 milliseconds
This parameter sets the number of milliseconds to delay after RTS is asserted
before the data will be transmitted.
2.3.12 RTS Off
0 to 65535 milliseconds
This parameter sets the number of milliseconds to delay after the last byte of
data is sent before the RTS modem signal will be set low.
2.3.13 Use CTS Line
Yes or No
This parameter specifies if the CTS modem control line is to be used. If the
parameter is set to No, the CTS line will not be monitored. If the parameter is set
to Yes, the CTS line will be monitored and must be high before the module will
send data. Normally, this parameter is required when half-duplex modems are
used for communication (2-wire).
2.3.14 Response Timeout
Number of milliseconds to wait for response to command. The value is set
depending upon the communication network used and the expected response
time of the slowest device on the network. Valid values are 0 to 5000
milliseconds.
2.3.15 Retry Count
0 to 10
This parameter specifies the number of times a command will be retried if it fails.
