
Line Mode - Selection of the operation line mode of the serial port. Choices are:
- RS232 (DEFAULT)
- RS485 - 2 Wire
- RS485 - 4 Wire

Baud Rate - The serial port baud rate in bps. Choices are 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400,
57600, 115200 (DEFAULT), 230400.

Byte Format - The data byte format in bits, parity and stop bits: Choices are:
- 7N1 - 7 char bits, no parity, 1 stop bit
- 7E1 - 7 char bits, even parity, 1 stop bit
- 7O1 - 7 char bits, odd parity, 1 stop bit
- 7N2 - 7 char bits, no parity, 2 stop bits
- 7E2 - 7 char bits, even parity, 2 stop bits
- 7O2 - 7 char bits, odd parity, 2 stop bits
- 8N1 - 8 char bits, no parity, 1 stop bit (DEFAULT)
- 8E1 - 8 char bits, even parity, 1 stop bit
- 8O1 - 8 char bits, odd parity, 1 stop bit
- 8N2 - 8 char bits, no parity, 2 stop bits
- 8E2 - 8 char bits, even parity, 2 stop bits
- 8O2 - 8 char bits, odd parity, 2 stop bits

Hw Flow Control - Hardware flow control enable/disable (DEFAULT) using RTS/CTS lines

Vmin - Receive Buffer Size - The minimum number of data bytes that will be buffered by the serial
port before handling of the data to be processed by the terminal server. (255 = DEFAULT).

Vtime - Receive Inter-Byte Timeout - The amount of time between bytes of data on the serial port ( in
multiples of 1 millisecond ), that indicate the end of a serial message ready to be processed by the
terminal server. (100 = DEFAULT)

Capability – Describes the capabilities of the serial port. (Read Only) For example, in the above
figure the COM1 port is capable of operating in RS232 or RS485 mode.
- Rs 485 2 Wire
- Rs 485 4 Wire
