Timeout (chars): This value configures the length of time to look for gaps in
the data being received from the local attached device. The timer is activated
after the Minimum Packet Size has been accumulated in the radio, after
which, if the radio detects a gap in the data exceeding the Character Timeout
value, the radio will transmit the data. The radio will accumulate data in its
buffers until either
a) the number of bytes configured in the Maximum Packet size field has
been accumulated, or
b) the number of bytes configured in the Minimum Packet Size has been
accumulated
AND
the Character timeout has expired—whichever occurs first. If the Char
Time Out value is set to 0ms, the radio will buffer exactly the Minimum
Packet size and then transmit that data.
Max Packet (chars): This is the maximum packet size, in bytes. Use this
setting, and the one above, to adjust throughput and latency of data
transmission.
Note: In most cases, there should be no need to change these settings.
Data Port Mode: Select the data port mode (RS232, RS485 half-duplex or
RS485 full-duplex) from the dropdown list. The port mode on the radio must
match the port mode on the connected serial device.
Baud Rate: Select the baud rate from the dropdown list. The baud rate on
the radio must match the baud rate on the connected serial device.
Data Bits: Select the number of data bits (7 or 8) from the dropdown list. The
data bits on the radio must match the data bits on the connected serial
device.
Parity: Select the parity (None, Even or Odd) from the dropdown list. The
parity on the radio must match the parity on the connected serial device.
Stop Bits: Select the number of stop bits (1 or 2) from the dropdown list. The
stop bits on the radio must match the stop bits on the connected serial
device.
Handshaking: Select the handshaking mode (None or Hardware) from the
dropdown list. The handshaking mode on the radio must match the
handshaking mode on the connected serial device. The radio uses RTS/CTS
for hardware handshaking.
