Serial Bridge
Select Serial Bridge to implement Paired Mode (also called serial tunneling).
This allows serial devices connected to two ES1A converters to communicate
across the network. The two ES1A converters automatically connect to each
other.
Modem Emulation
Select Modem Emulation to configure the serial port to operate as if it is a
modem. For legacy applications where a serial device is set up to
communicate through a modem, the serial device can be connected to the
ES1A and communication occurs over the network. The ES1A emulates
modem responses to and from the serial device.
Custom
Select Custom to custom configure the ES1A serial port and is used if your
application does not fit into any other predefined modes. This is an advanced
option that allows full configuration of the serial port.
Apply
After you have selected a port profile, click the Apply button. The Serial
Port Configuration page will re-appear and will contain additional
configuration settings specific to the profile you have chosen.
For more information on these configuration options see the web-based Tutorial
and online Help.
Basic Serial Settings
Click the Basic Serial Settings menu bar on the Serial Port Configuration
page to configure the ES1A’s serial port Baud Rate, Data Bits, Parity, Stop
Bits and Flow Control parameters. For all profiles except RealPort, the
Basic Serial Settings configuration section allows you to set these
parameters. When the RealPort profile is selected the serial port settings will
be directed by the PC applications using the virtual COM port.
Advanced Serial Settings
Click the Advanced Serial Settings menu bar to access settings used to fine
tune the serial port. Typically these setting will not need to be changed.
Consult the web-based tutorial for more information if necessary.
