Configure Advanced Serial Settings
The Web Configuration Manager also allows you to configure more advanced serial port
properties. These advanced properties will allow you to configure the XOn Character, XOff
Character, Break Character, Escape Character, Error Character and Event Character, and
Transmit Load Setting for each serial port.
Further, you will be able to specify whether you want to enable Null Stripping or RTS Toggle
for a particular port as well as the option to enable or disable the Break, Event and Error
characters.
By default, all advanced serial properties are disabled. You should only use these advanced
properties if you require them.
You are required to use the ASCII representation of characters using the respective hexidecimal
values. For example, if you wanted your XOn character to be capital 'A', you would specify a
hex value of 41.
We have provided you with an ASCII table on the Advanced Serial Port Properties page for your
convenience. Click on the ASCII Table link, and an ASCII table will open in a new window.
Each serial port parameter has been abbreviated due to space constraints. We have provided
another link which describes the abbreviated parameter descriptions. Click on the Parameter
Descriptions link, and a new window will open which contains a description of each parameter.
Configure Blue Heat/Net Sync Settings
This section provides various Blue Heat/Net Sync Configuration options, and shows you the
saved versus current settings. The details for each configuration option are provided below:
•
Flash Enabled: This option enables or disables the ability of the Blue Heat/Net Sync to
boot-up from flash memory.
•
Bootp Enabled: This option enables or disables the Blue Heat/Net‟s ability to obtain
boot-up information from the server (see "Server IP Address" below).
•
TFTP Enabled: This option enables or disables the ability to download and boot from a
file located on a server (see "Server IP Address" below).
•
DHCP Enabled: This option enables or disables the use of DHCP. If DHCP is enabled,
the Blue Heat/Net Sync will attempt to automatically obtain an IP address. If DHCP is
disabled, you must manually specify an IP address for the Blue Heat/Net.
•
Configuration Port: This option sets the port to scan for the password to gain entry into
the Serial Configuration Manager. You can specify a particular port, or specify the Scan
All Ports option. In this case the Blue Heat/Net Sync will scan all ports for the password
when the Blue Heat/Net Sync is booting. The default setting is Scan All Ports.
•
Session Timeout: This option specifies the time allowed between web page navigation.
The default session timeout is 5 minutes. This means if the Web Configuration Manager
has not received any requests for more than 5 minutes, you will be automatically logged
out. You can set the timeout from 1 minute to 2 hours, or disable the session timeout all
together by selecting the Disable Timeout option.
•
Boot Delay: This option specifies time allowed for gaining access to the Serial
Configuration Manager while the Blue Heat/Net Sync is booting. The time ranges from
2 seconds to 30 seconds. The default setting is 30 seconds.
