Status
226 Port 2 error word
Within the status data area is a single word for each port that is bit mapped (error
word). The definition of the bits is given in the following table.
Error Bit in
Word Description
Cfg_type Bit 0 The termination type configured for the port is not valid.
Values between 0 and 15 are the only ones valid. The
module will use type 0 (stream mode) for the port.
Cfg_Baud Bit 1 The baud rate entered for the port is not valid. The module
will use 9600 baud for the port.
Cfg_Parity Bit 2 The parity value entered is not valid. Values between 0 and
4 are accepted. The module has set the parity to a value of
none (0).
Cfg_DataBits Bit 3 The number of data bits for the protocol is not valid. Values
between 5 and 8 are accepted. The module assumes a
value of 8 data bits.
Cfg_StopBits Bit 4 The number of stop bits for the protocol is not valid. Values
of 1 or 2 are accepted. The module assumes a value of 1
stop bit.
Cfg_Handshake Bit 5 The handshake code for the port is not valid. The value
entered must be in the range of 0 to 3. The module assumes
a value of 0 (no handshaking).
