Setting serial port parameters
In configuring your Serial Device Server’s serial port parameters,
there are two main considerations:
¾ Which operating mode should you use?
¾ Is your serial port connection RS-232, RS-422 or RS-485?
Setting Normal operating mode parameters
This section explains how to set your RS-232 and RS-422/485 parameters
and also provides details on setting up your SDS in the Normal operating
mode. In the following sections, you’ll find information on configuring your
SDS for Tunneling, Raw TCP, Auto TCP, and Raw UDP operating modes.
In most cases, you will use the Normal operating mode for your SDS.
This allows you to use either Quatech’s virtual COM port drivers or the
IntelliSock SDK to communicate over a network.
Note: Normal is the standard
connection mode for an SDS.
