■ RS-232 signals enabled during device sleep: when this is on
the RS-232 input and output signals are enabled when the
Mesa Pro is running or in sleep mode.
■
Configure pin 9 as input or power supply:
Pin 9 is the Ring-
In signal input. It is rarely used by devices anymore and has
become a popular pin to provide a power source to an RS-232
device.
□ Select Input if your device uses Ring-In signal or if it does
not need to be powered from the RS-232 port.
□ Select Power supply enabled to make pin 9 a power
supply to be used by the RS-232 device. The power supply
is enabled automatically without needing any interaction
with the COM port. Depending on the settings, the power
supply can provide either 5 V DC or 12 V DC.
□ Select DTR enables power supply to make pin 9 a power
supply (5 V DC or 12 V DC depending on settings). The
power supply remains off until the user application opens
the COM port and asserts the DTR signal. When the DTR
signal de-asserts, the power supply turns off again.
■
Disable power supply during device sleep:
turn this option
on to have the RS-232 input and output signals disabled
automatically when the tablet is in sleep mode. If your app
and/or RS-232 device experiences communication failures
when the tablet enters or exits sleep mode, then do not use
this option.
