1 or 2

Stop Bits

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 re-synchronize,

use two stop bits.
All devices communicating through this port must use the same number of stop

bits.

0 to 65535

milliseconds

RTS On

This parameter sets the number of milliseconds to delay after Ready To Send

(RTS) is asserted before data will be transmitted.

0 to 65535 milliseconds

RTS Off

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.

Y

ES

or

N

O

Use CTS Line

This parameter specifies if the Clear To Send (CTS) modem control line is to be

used or not. If the parameter is set to

N

O

, the CTS line will not be monitored. If

the parameter is set to

Y

ES

, 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). This procedure is

commonly referred to as hardware handshaking.

0 to 10

Retry Count

This parameter specifies the number of times a command will be retried if it fails.

0 to 10000 milliseconds

Request Timeout

This parameter specifies the number of milliseconds to wait for a complete

request message. The timer is started after the DLE-STX character sequence is

received for the full-duplex protocol or the DLE-SOH sequence for the half-

duplex protocol. If the timer expires, the current request message will be aborted.

0 to 10000 milliseconds

Busy Timeout

This parameter specifies the number of milliseconds to wait for the pass-through

port to become available.
