Configuring CS in Wizard Mode
90
Expert mode provides additional options for custom configuration of serial
ports. For example, to assign an alias to a serial port, to specify individual
parameters to the serial ports or groups of serial ports, or to utilize any of
several other connection protocols.
For information on configuring serial ports in expert mode see Chapter 10,
“Ports Menu & Forms.”
T
To Set Parameters for All Serial Ports
This step configures all serial ports with the same values. Use this form if all
the devices connected to the serial ports on CS can run using the same
connection protocol with the same speed. In addition you need to make sure
the values you specify here are the same as those in effect on the connected
devices.
If the connected devices require different connection protocols and speed,
configure individual settings in Expert mode > Ports > Physical Ports. See
Chapter 10, “Ports Menu & Forms” for more detail.
