EtherWave - WMR
6.0 Configuration
6.1.6 COM1 and COM2 Configuration
The menus ’COM1 Configuration’ and ’COM2 Configuration’ are
used to configure the serial device server for the serial
communications ports:
·
COM1, the rear DE9 connector on the EtherWave-
WMR, and
·
COM2, the front RJ45 connector, respectively.
Serial device data may be brought into a LAN network through
TCP, UDP, or multicast; it may also exit the EtherWave-WMR
network on another EtherWave-WMR’s serial port.
COM1 is a full-featured RS232 interface dedicated to serial data
traffic. It supports hardware handshaking. By default, this port is
enabled.
COM2 is, by default, disabled. In this state, it may be used as the
console port for the text user interface. Enabled, it becomes
another serial port for data traffic. It is a 3-wire (TxD, RxD, and SG)
interface and does not support hardware handshaking.
For brevity, only COM1 is fully detailed in this section; the relative
limitations of COM2 are noted where applicable.
