Options
Save Settings on Exit
When enabled, all changes made to the Settings page are automatically loaded the next time the software is
run. Otherwise, changes are discarded.
Read/Write with AT Commands
When enabled, the software uses AT commands for its read/write EEPROM functions instead of the standard
configuration commands. This is only available for the AC5124 (when enabled in EEPROM), AC4424,
AC4486, AC4490, AC4790, and AC4868. It is ignored for all other product modes.
Status Bar
Located at the bottom of the software, the status bar gives the state of Port 1, RTS Port 1, CTS Port 1, Port 2,
RTS Port 2, and CTS Port 2 lines. When the text appears black, the current state displays. When the text
appears grey, the current state is not displayed. The text shown in the bottom status bar gives a simplified
status of the current, pending software process. The software has no pending process when
Communications
Idle is displayed.
