CONFIGURATION: Dock Server Application
for changing the number of
virtual
serial
ports allocated.
The only minor difference between a
virtual
serial port and a real one is the appearance
of the lights and baud rate in Glider Terminal : Serial Port Perspective.
As a
virtual
serial port doesn't have a baud rate, data bits, or stop bits; they are always listed as 0.
The output bit
indicators
from the Dock Server (DTR/RTS) should always be green. The input
bit
indicators
to the Dock Server (CD/CTS/DSR/RI) will always be the same color and
collectively indicate when a Glider is connected via Iridium RUDICS:
(i) GREEN
A Glider is connected on this
virtual
serial port
(ii) RED
A Glider is NOT connected on this
virtual
serial port
The
indicator
next to the
net/<N>
name in the left pane retains it's normal meaning.
