Serial port configuration
This page provides all access to settings concerned with the OPTIONS port that is
situated at the rear of the SC5-4xIP unit.
Options Port Use
Determines whether the OPTIONS port at the rear of the unit will be used for
connection to power control switches (‘Power Control’), to synchronise the
operation of two SC5-4xIP units (‘Sync Units’) or to operate as a ‘Console Server’
connection to link with other devices that are configured/monitored via their
serial ports.
Baud Rate
Determines the communication speed of the OPTIONS port when the above
setting is configured to ‘Power Control’. The other communication settings are
fixed as: No parity, 8 bit word, 1 stop bit.
Notes:
When ‘Options Port Use’ is set to ‘Sync Units’, the baud rate will be
automatically changed to 19200.
When the ‘Options Port Use’ is set to ‘Console Server’, the baud rate and other
parameters are set within the
Console Server Configuration
page
for Port 0.
