SERIAL PORT FUNCTIONS (CONTINUED)
Port 2 has the same menu options as Port 1. The user must configure each port
separately. Each port can be configured for different functions. When both ports are
configured for the same functions, then the outputs of each port are identical. For
example, if each port is set to “Telnet” function and a telnet command is sent to the
Unit, then both ports will output the same command. Port 1 and Port 2 can operate at
different baud rates.
Note: Port 2 does not support hardware flow control.
