serial device. This page displays the currently configured TCP or UDP port.
Basic Serial Settings
The basic serial port settings must match the serial settings of the connected device. If you do not
know these settings consult the documentation that came with your serial device. These serial
settings may be documented as 9600 8N1, which means that the device is using a baud rate of 9600
bits per second, 8 data bits, no parity, and 1 stop bit.
When using RealPort (COM port redirection) these settings are supplied by applications running on the
PC or server, and the default values on your Digi device server do not need to be changed.
The possible settings are as follows:
n
Description
: Specifies an optional character string for the port which can be used to identify
the device connected to the port.
n
MEI Type
: The MEI (multi-electronic interface) type sets the type of serial interface if the
ConnectPort LTS is the MEI version. The MEI version has three kinds of serial interfaces: RS232,
RS422/485 (full), and RS485Half. If the ConnectPort LTS is not the MEI version, MEI Type will be
fixed to RS232 and you cannot change it.
n
Baud Rate
: Select the baud rate value for the serial device.
n
Data Bits
: Select the data bits value for the serial device.
n
Parity
: Select the parity for the serial device.
n
Stop Bits
: Select the stop bit value for the serial device.
n
Flow Control
: Select the flow control value for the serial device.
n
Enable termination
: When selected, enables termination.
Advanced Serial Settings
The following settings are advanced settings used to fine tune the serial port and access to the serial
interface. The default settings will typically work in most situations.
Note
The advanced settings rarely need to be changed.

Enable Port Logging
: Port logging allows you to save serial data to the memory of the Digi
device server. Once enabled, the port log can be viewed by selecting
Port Logs
on the Serial
Port Management page (
Management
>
Serial Ports
). Port Logging is enabled in the CLI via
the set buffer command.
n
Log Size
: The size in kilobytes of the memory buffer used to save serial data when port logging
is enabled.
n
Automatic backup
: The port data is stored to specified location automatically.
n
Unlimited automatic backup size
: When enabled, the automatic backup size is not limited.
n
Automatic backup size
: This option defines the amount of the log to backup at a time.
