Quatech SDS User’s Manual
Configuring the SDS using a Web interface
Step
Procedure
Description
¾
Force X2 mode
¾
Force X4 mode
¾
Force X8 mode
Note: Forcing a change in the data rate may
cause communication problems with some
serial devices. If this is the case, change the
setting back to Auto (Recommended).
Step 3b
Click on the desired Performance
Selector.
Choose balanced mode except in those
cases where the serial device cannot
tolerate the slight delays inherent in
normal TCP/IP operation.
Balanced
mode
offers
excellent
performance
for
most
applications.
Low
Latency
mode
heavily
favors
responsiveness
over
throughput.
Step 3c
Set the Heart Beat Time to a value from 1
to 65534 seconds. Default is 45 seconds.
Note: Use a value of 0 to disable the heartbeat
timer.
Heartbeat messages help detect when a
connection has been lost between the PC
driver and the SDS.
If you need quick notification that the
connection has been lost, set this timer to
a shorter value.
If you are more concerned about network
traffic, set this timer to a longer value.
Step 3d
Set the Baud Rate.
The SDS and the serial device(s) to
which it is attached must use the same
serial connection speed.
Step 3e
Set the Parity.
Parity can be odd, even, or none.
Step 3f
Set the Data Bits.
Data Bits can be 7 or 8.
Step 3g
Set the Stop Bits.
Stop Bits can be 1 or 2.
Step 3h
Set the Flow Control.
Flow control determines the handshake
method used between the SDS and the
serial device(s) to stop the serial
input/output process.
Steps 4a through 4d apply only to RS-232/422/485 (MEI) units
Step 4a
(MEI only)
Configure the serial port interface.
Click on the desired interface selector.
This series of steps only applies to MEI
units, such as the SSE-400.
If you select RS232, the RS422/485
selections will be grayed out. Continue
with
□
Step 5
.
Step 4b
(MEI only)
Click on the desired duplex mode selector.
Select
Full Duplex
to always enable
transmit and receive drivers.
Select
Half Rx
to only enable the
transmit drivers when the SDS is
transmitting; receivers always enabled.
Select
Half Rx Tog
to disable receivers
and enable the transmit drivers only
when the SDS is transmitting.
