3.4.15 Menu: Comport / Settings
The ‘comport / settings’ webpage defines the parameters for the ENC's integrated comport/serial port.
ENC-
300™ encoders are always comport servers and DEC-200 decoders are always comport clients.

Settings:
Description:
Mode:
Specifies the comport mode.
‘Console’
enables access and control of the ENC-
300™
configuration via the com-cable (null modem cable). Use this cable
to set the ENC-
300™ configuration when you do not want to use
web access.
‘Passthrough’
enables setting the comport to a serial mode. RS-
232 devices can be connected and controlled via the comport. This
is useful, for example when cameras or other non-IP, non-network
devices need to be remotely controlled. RS-232 commands can be
tunnelled and sent via TCP/IP to the comport server, where they
will be returned into native RS-232 commands. When a connection
is opened from the client (e.g. decoder) to the IP-address of the
encoder at port 7777, the serial function in the ENC-
300™ is
activated and any data (string) is passed straight to the connected
RS-232 device. Once the connection is established, this also works
the other way for information coming back from the RS-232 device.
Bitrate:
Specifies the used bitrate in bits per second.
Databits:
Specifies the databits. You can ch
oose between ‘7’ and ‘8’. This
field is only available when the comport mode ‘Passthrough’ is
chosen.
Parity:
Specifies the parity. You can choose between ‘none’, ‘odd’ and
‘even’. This field is only available when the comport mode
‘Passthrough’ is chosen.
Stopbits:
Specifies the value of used stopbits. You can choose between ‘1’
and ‘2’. This field is only available when the comport mode
‘Passthrough’ is chosen.
