10.1.2. Connection to a PC serial port
If the ip.buffer is collecting data from a PC’s serial port it is possible the PC will “probe”
the port for mice and modems on boot-up. This is usually done at 115200 baud. If the
ip.buffer is set for autobauding, it may trigger the autobaud process whenever the PC is
rebooted.
It is more of a problem if the ip.buffer is being used to administer a PC device through the
serial port. If the PC probes for devices on boot up it will start an autobauding process that
may never complete (if the PC doesn’t send data).
Disable autobauding for this special case.
For collection of SMDR/CDR data from a PBX we strongly recommend leaving
autobaud enabled. If an engineer changes any settings then the ip.buffer will
quickly lock onto the correct baud rate and continue logging.
