•
Status
—Enable/Disable the serial data port.
•
IP Protocol
—UDP Point-to-Point. This is the type of IP port that will be offered by the
trans-
ceiver’s serial device server. [
TCP, UDP, PPP, DF1/EIP, MODBUS/TCP Server; TCP
]
•
Remote IP Address
—Data received through the serial port is sent to this IP address. To reach
multiple Remotes in the network, use UDP Point-to-Multipoint.
[
Any valid IP address; 0.0.0.0
]
•
Remote IP Port
—The destination IP port for data packets received through the serial port on the
transceiver. [
1–64,000; Default COM1: 30010, Default COM2: 30011
]
•
Local IP Port
—Port number where data is received and passed through to the serial port. This
port number must be used by the application connecting to this transceiver. [
1–64,000; COM1:
30010, COM2: 30011
]
•
Packet Redundancy Mode
— For proper operation, all radios’ Serial Packet Redundancy mode
must match (Single Packet mode vs. Packet Repeat mode). This is because a transceiver, when
in Packet Repeat mode, sends 12 extra characters (sequence numbers, etc.) to control the deliv-
ery of the repeated data. Misconfigurations can result in undesired operation.
•
Data Baud Rate
—Data rate (payload) for the
COM
port in bits-per-second. [
1200, 2400, 4800,
9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, 115200; 19200
]
•
Configuration
—Formatting of data bytes. Data bits, parity and stop bits [
7N1, 7E1, 7O1, 8N1, 8E1,
8O1, 7N2, 7E2, 7O2, 8N2, 8E2, 8O2; 8N1
].
•
Flow Control
(COM2 only)
—RTS/CTS handshaking between the transceiver and the connected
device. [
Enabled, Disabled; Disabled
]
•
Serial Mode
— When seamless mode is selected, data bytes will be sent over the air as quickly
as possible, but the receiver will buffer the data until enough bytes have arrived to cover worst
case gaps in transmission. The delay introduced by data buffering may range from 22 to 44 ms,
but the radio will not create any gaps in the output data stream. This mode of operation is
required for protocols such as MODBUS™ that do not allow gaps in their data transmission.
[
Seamless, Custom; Seamless
]
•
Seamless Inter-Frame Delay
— Number of characters that represent the end of a message
(inter-character time-out). MODBUS defines a “3.5-character” parameter. [
1–65,535; 4
]
•
Custom Data Buffer Size
(Custom Packet Mode only)—Maximum amount of characters that the
Remote end will buffer locally before starting to transmit data through the serial port. [
16, 32,
64, 128, 256; 32
]
