DEFINITIONS - SERIAL SERVER PROPERTIES
The following serial server properties are alphabetically ordered to assist
you in quickly finding the information you need.
BAUD RATE
Baud Rate
is the communication speed of the link between the serial
server and the device attached to its serial port. Both these devices must
be configured to operate at the same baud rate. Baud rate values range
from 75 to 230,400 Baud. (Refer to Appendix B for specific supported
baud rates.)
CHARACTER COUNT
Character Count
controls the maximum number of characters to buffer
before sending the characters to the network. Larger values decrease
the number of network packets, but increase the amount of time to
receive characters. Smaller values increase the number of network
packets, but decrease the amount of time to receive characters. The
range is 1 through 65535.
CONFIGURATION FILES
Configuration files contain all configuration settings for the serial server.
When the serial server settings have been configured you can save the
settings using Vlinx Manager. Existing configuration files can be Opened
(from Vlinx Manager), which loads them into the serial server. This
allows the same configuration to be applied to multiple serial servers, or
to reload a previously used configuration.
