4.7.2 Serial > COM1/COM2/RS485
This menu option is used to configure the serial device server for the serial communications port. Serial
device data may be brought into the IP network through TCP, UDP, or multicast; it may also exit the
IPnXGii network on another IPnXGii serial port. The fully-featured RS232 interface supports hardware
handshaking.
The IPnXGii is equipped with 3 Serial Communication Ports as described below:
RS232 - The primary RS232 data port for end devices. It is located on the front panel of the
IPnXGii. The COM1 RS232 port supports full handshaking.
Console - By default this port is configured as a console port and is used for diagnostics and
configuration using a AT Command set. It is located on the back of the IPnXGii, and only
supports asynchronous (TX/RX) communications. It can be configured as a data port,
but is limited in which features are available (TCP and UDP only)
RS485 - The RS485 port is used as a data port for RS485 devices. In the IPnXGii it is a fully
independent serial data port with full support.
