3.4 Channel 1 Configuration
Channel 1 configuration defines how the serial port responds to network and serial communication.
Note: The Wi232 does NOT use Channel 2. Disable Channel 2 settings.

Port Settings
Protocol
Select the protocol type from the pull down menu for the selected
channel. The only option for Wi232 is RS232.
Flow Control
Flow control manages data flow between devices in a network to
ensure it is processed efficiently. Too much data arriving before a
device is prepared to manage it causes lost or retransmitted data.
Select CTS/RTS for hardware flow control.
Baud Rate
The unit and attached serial device, such as a modem, must agree
on a speed or baud rate to use for the serial connection. Valid baud
rates are 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600 (default), 19200, 38400,
57600, 115200, 230400, 460800, or 921600. For baud rates higher
than 460 Kbps, the CPU Configuration Mode must be set to High.
