Changing the Serial Settings
In order to establish communication between the Serial Server and a serial device, the serial settings for both devices
must match. The serial settings can be changed using ExtendView (recommended), the web browser interface, or
the Serial Server’s internal configuration console (refer to the previous sections for the installation and use of these
utilities). Refer to page 1-5 for a list of factory default settings.

Changing the Baud Rate
In some cases it may be necessary to change the baud rate of the serial sever in order to match the baud rate of a
particular serial device where the baud rate is fixed. Baud is a measurement of transmission speed in asynchronous
communication and represents the number of bits that are actually being sent over the media, not the amount of data
that is actually moved from one device to the other. The Serial Server supports baud rates from 300 to 460800 bps.
To ensure communication between connected serial devices, all other serial port parameters (mode, character bits,
parity, etc.) must be identical for each serial device.
