Configuration of the serial port
8.1 The serial parameters (Menu: UART Setup)
Like any serial device, the Com-Server port must be set to
match the communication parameters of its partner. All the
RS232 parameters relevant for operation are configured in the
Setup Port x
r
UART Setup menu. In addition to the usual
settings for baud rate, data bits, parity and stop bits, here you
can also specify the handshake procedure as well as the
functions of the individual control signals and the UART-FIFOs.

The settings only become active after saving with
SAVE Setup or pressing the button Save on the Logout
page. Please note that saving the parameters deletes all data
currently located in the ComServer port buffers.
8.1.1 Baud rate, Data bits, stop bits, parity
The desired transmission parameters can be selected by ente-
ring the corresponding designation in the respective branch of
the menu tree. Invoking Save Setup in the master menu saves
the changes you made in the non-volatile memory of the Com-
Server and simultaneously activates them.
Freely selectable baud rate (Special Baud Divisor)
In the submenu Special Baud Divisor you can enter any desired
divisor for generating the baud rate. This makes it possible to
work even with non-standard baud rates. The baud rate and
divisor are calculated using the following formulas:
Models 58631, 58431
Divisor= 11,0592*10
6
16*Baudrate
Baudrate=
11,0592*10
