Parameter
Default
Description/Values
standard
RS232
Specifies the transceiver mode for the
passthrough:
• RS232
• RS422
NOTE:
Only valid for the serial port.
baudrate
9600
Specifies the baud rate for the passthrough:
• 115200, 57600, 38400, 19200, 9600, 4800,
2400, 1200
databits
8
Specifies the number of data bits in each
character.
• 8, 7
stopbits
1
Specifies the number of stop bits sent at the
end of every character.
• 1, 2
flowctrl
none
The flow control for the serial port:
• none, xonxoff
Xon/Xoff
is a protocol for controlling the flow
of data between devices on an asynchronous
serial connection.
TIP:
Flow control is useful in atypical cases
such as when the remote controlling device's
serial port is set to a much higher baud rate
than the encoder's serial port.
port
7777
The TCP port on which to listen for
passthrough clients.
timeout
0 (no timeout)
Specifies the amount of time in seconds a
TCP connection will be kept open when no
data is being received from the remote client.
The timeout can be up to 10 minutes (
0..600
seconds).
The idle timeout is important when you have
more than one remote end point controlling
the serial port: if a remote application is left
running with the TCP connection active, no
one else will be able to control the COM port.
TIP:
You can use
0
for an infinite timeout to
keep the connection open until the client
closes it.
