Configure a serial-connected slave: other IA protocol

Use this procedure in the following situations:

• When the device connected to the serial port is a slave that is using a “non-supported” serial-port protocol, that is, the serial port protocol is not Modbus ASCII, Modbus RTU, DF1 Full-Duplex, FINS, Hostlink, CompoWay/F, or a protocol that meets the definition of a “user-defined” protocol.
• When you do not want to set up the device server for RealPort COM Port redirection.
• When multiple masters will not be communicating with this slave.

Procedure

1. Access the web interface by entering the device server IP address in a browser’s URL window.
2. Log in to the web interface.
3. From the main menu, choose Configure > Port.
4. From the Port configuration page, set the Device type to Printer, adjust other serial port communication parameters as required by the connected slave, and click Submit.
5. Choose Advanced, check Binary Mode, and click Submit.
