Basic serial settings

The basic serial port settings must match the serial settings of the connected device. If you do not know these settings consult the documentation that came with your serial device. These serial settings may be documented as 9600 8N1, which means that the device is using a baud rate of 9600 bits per second, 8 data bits, no parity, and 1 stop bit.

When using RealPort (COM port redirection) these settings are supplied by applications running on the PC or server, and the default values on your Digi device server do not need to be changed.

The possible settings are as follows:

• Description: Specifies an optional character string for the port which can be used to identify the device connected to the port.
• Baud Rate: Select the baud rate value for the serial device.
• Data Bits: Select the data bits value for the serial device.
• Parity: Select the parity for the serial device.
• Stop Bits: Select the stop bit value for the serial device.
• Flow Control: Select the flow control value for the serial device.
