Chapter 22 - Configuring Serial Protocols
Serial Protocols Trace Menu
Figure 184: Serial Protocols Trace Menu
This menu displays decoded serial port and network activity.
The desired traffic sources, number of messages and length of time to capture are
entered and the Start Trace button is pressed. The menu will display up to the
provided number of messages waiting up to the specified number of seconds.
The Trace on ports: selections feature a list of serial ports with unused entries greyed
out. The default is All Ports, which selects all ports.
The Message RX/TX field allows log entries to be printed for each received or
transmitted message, and method of packetization. If the Hex Dump field is selected,
the first 64 bytes of packet content is displayed.
The Incoming/Outgoing Connections field allows regular network level entries such
as call connections and received/transmitted messages to be displayed. Note that
some unexpected, but unusual, network messages may be displayed if they occur.
Note: Specifying large numbers of ports, entries and capture times can result in a great
deal of output. Specifying a large capture time may require the web page to wait that
interval if activity is infrequent.
