Custom Profile
The Custom port profile displays all serial-port settings, which can be changed as needed.
Use the Custom profile only if the use of the serial port does not fit into any of the
predefined port profiles, for example, if network connections involve a mix of TCP and
UDP sockets.
Basic serial settings
After selecting a port profile, the profile settings are displayed. Choose the appropriate
features for your environment. Here are brief descriptions of the fields in the Basic Serial
Settings; see the online help for detailed information about each setting.
The Description field specifies an optional character string for the port which
can be used to identify the device connected to the port.
Basic Serial Settings include Baud Rate, Data Bits, Parity, Stop Bits, and
Flow Control. 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) or RFC 2217, these settings are
supplied by applications running on the PC or server, and the default values on
the Digi device do not need to be changed.
