4.5
Serial Tasks
The following subsections describe the tasks that you can perform using the screens of the
Serial Tasks branch.
4.5.1
Ports
The Ports screens enable you to configure and monitor serial ports.
4.5.1.1 Ports: Profiles
This screen enables you to add and configure serial port profiles.
The Add New Profile Form enables you to add a new profile to the table of existing profiles.
The values shown in the figure below, are the default values presented in this table when
the page loads or re-loads. After setting the appropriate parameters and giving the profile
a name, press the
Apply Settings
button and the profile is added to the Edit Existing
Profiles table.
The Edit Existing Profiles table enables you to change one or more of the parameters in a
profile. Each profile entry has a checkbox in the “Delete” column. You can delete one or
more profiles by checking the appropriate box and pressing the
Apply Settings
button. You
can make any number of changes to the table; however, none of these changes take effect
until the
Apply Settings
button is pressed. Pressing the
Reset Settings
button will reset all
modified fields to the value they had when the page originally loaded.
To supply the correct values for each of the parameters in the Profiles screen you need to
know the specifications of the device with which each port will be communicating. This
information can usually be found in the installation documentation of the communicating
device.
Systems are shipped from the factory with a single default profile called “Default”.
