4.2.1 Communication Port Name
This parameter specifies the communication port name string to be used for communications.
The range of valid port names is dependent on the hardware platform within which the
BECO2200 DCA resides.
4.2.2 Communication Port Parity
This parameter specifies the communication Parity of the configured port. Parity can be
configured as Even, Odd, or None. The default parity is Even.
4.2.3 BAUD Rate
This parameter specifies the communication BAUD rate for the configured port.
4.2.4 RTS On Time
This parameter specifies the time, in milliseconds, that the RTS line will be asserted prior to the
data transmission. The value configured here will be dependent on the speed and the type of
communication hardware used. Refer to Table 5 for a list of character times at the supported
BAUD rates.

☞ NOTE: If either RTS On Time or the RTS Off Time are configured to be non-
zero, the RTS On Time must be configured to at least 1 ms.
If modem signals are not desired, set both the RTS On Time and RTS Off
Time to 0.
