6: Line and Tunnel Settings
The XPort Pro Lx6 embedded device server contains one line using a standard RS232/RS485
serial port. This line may be configured to operate in the following modes:
RS232
RS485 Full Duplex (also compatible with RS-422)
RS485 Half Duplex, with and without termination impedance
All serial settings such as Baud Rate, Parity, Data Bits, etc, apply to these lines.
Line Settings
The Line Settings allow configuration of the serial lines (ports).
Some settings may be specific to only certain lines. Such settings are noted below.

Choices are:
RS232
RS485 Full-Duplex
RS485 Half-Duplex
Termination Select to Enable or Disable Line Termination. The default is Disable.

Any set speed between 300 and 921600 may be selected: 300, 600, 1200,
2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, 115200, 230400, 921600. When
selecting a Custom baud rate, you may manually enter any value between
300 and 921600.
Note: Custom baud rates are not supported when a line is configured for
Command Mode.
Parity Set the Parity of the Line. The default is None.
Data Bits Set the number of data bits for the Line. The default is 8.
Stop Bits Set the number of stop bits for the Line. The default is 1.
