Part 2 Setup Mode
Line Control Box
The
Line Control
box defines flow control and line speed settings using the
following fields:
• The
Modem Signals
box indicates whether the ports you selected
use a modem for flow control. When you select the
On
button,
the ports and modem use DCD, DTR, and DSR signals.
•
The Flow Control
box specifies the type of signals an Annex uses
to control data transfer. If you select:
–
None
the port does not use hardware or software flow
control.
–
Hardware
, the port uses CTS/RTS signals.
–
Software
, the port uses xon/xoff signals.
–
Other
displays if the Annexes you selected have flow control
set to a value that is not
Hardware
,
Software
, or
None
. If you
select another setting here, you cannot select
Other
again.
• The
Speed
box defines the baud rate of the asynchronous line
between a device and an Annex. The value you enter must
match the device's baud rate. For a port with a modem,
Speed
is
typically set to the maximum speed that the modem supports
(e.g.,
115200
).
All Annexes do not support all port speeds. Please refer
to your Annex hardware guides for detailed information.
