Configure Advanced Serial Settings
The Web Configuration Manager also allows you to configure more advanced serial port
properties. These advanced properties will allow you to configure the XOn Character, XOff
Character, Break Character, Escape Character, Error Character and Event Character, and
Transmit Load Setting for each serial port.
Further, you will be able to specify whether you want to enable Null Stripping, RTS Toggle and
FIFOs for a particular port as well as the option to enable or disable the Break, Event and Error
characters.
By default, all advanced serial properties are disabled, with the exception of FIFO, which is
enabled by default. You should only use these advanced properties if you require them.
You are required to use the ASCII representation of characters using the respective hexidecimal
values. For example, if you wanted your XOn character to be capital 'A', you would specify a
hex value of 41.
We have provided you with an ASCII table on the Advanced Serial Port Properties page for your
convenience. Click on the
ASCII Table
link, and an ASCII table will open in a new window.
Each serial port parameter has been abbreviated due to space constraints. We have provided
another link which describes the abbreviated parameter descriptions. Click on the
Parameter
Descriptions
link, and a new window will open which contains a description of each parameter.

Configure Security Settings
The security configuration option will allow you to specify which IP addresses can access your
Blue Heat/Net serial ports.
For each of your Blue Heat/Net serial ports, you have three security options:
•
Any IP Addresses: This option will allow any IP address to access your Blue Heat/Net
Serial port. This is the default security setting for each Blue Heat/Net port.
•
No IP Addresses: This option will deny any IP address from accessing your Blue
Heat/Net serial port.
•
This list of IP Addresses: This option will allow a given set of IP addresses to access a
Blue Heat/Net serial port. Simply type in the list of IP addresses in the Text Field
provided. Current Blue Heat/Net models do not allow you to specify a range of IP
addresses (i.e. 113.334.334.* is not allowed), or hostnames.
