Serial Port Configuration Method 

 
When the Xtreme/Multi-I/O is installed into a computer and Serial Port 8 is enabled, a terminal program can be 
used to access the settings of the board much like the Virtual Serial Port method using the OS running on the 
PC/104  stack.    Use  a  terminal  program  like  qtalk,  minicom,  realterm,  etc  to  configure  the  port  settings 
interactively. 
 
This method is also applicable to situations where the application needs to change certain settings dynamically 
as part of the application’s operation. However, the primary PC/104 Bus settings (like IO/Memory addresses or 
interrupts) would 

not

 be candidates for any dynamic operations. 

 

NOTE:  Because  this  method  requires  some  settings  to  already  be  enabled,  we  do  not  recommend  this  as  a 
primary way to configure the board, but rather suggest using the USB port. 

 
 
Each command is processed upon pressing “ENTER” key (CR character) and feedback is given in an “OK” or 
“ERROR” with details format.
