Basic Configuration
Port Mode Parameters:
•
Port Name:
Allows you to assign a name to the Setup Port. (Default = undefined.)
•
Port Mode:
The operation mode for this port. (Default = Normal Mode)
Depending on the Port Mode selected, the RPS will display additional prompts listed
below. In the Text Interface, these parameters are accessible via a submenu, which will
only be active when the appropriate port mode is selected. In the Web Browser Interface,
fields will be "grayed out" unless the corresponding port mode is selected.
Normal Mode:
Allows communication with a local PC and permits access to
command mode. When the Normal Mode is selected, the following mode-specific
parameter can also be defined:
DTR Output:
Determines how DTR will react when the port disconnects. DTR
can be held low, held high, or pulsed for 0.5 seconds and then held high.
(Default = Pulse.)
Modem Mode:
Permits access to command mode and simplifies connection to an
external modem. Modem Mode ports can perform all functions normally available in
Normal Mode, but Modem Mode also allows definition of the following, additional
parameters:
Reset String:
Redefines the modem reset string. The Reset String can be sent
prior to the Initialization string. (Default =
ATZ
.
)
Initialization String:
Defines a command string that can be sent to
initialize a modem to settings required by your application. (Default =
ATE0M0Q1&C1&D2S0=1
)
Hang-Up String:
Although the RPS will pulse the DTR line to hang-up an
attached modem, the Hang-Up string is often useful for controlling modems that
do not use the DTR line. (Default = undefined.)
Periodic Reset Value:
Determines how often the Reset String will be sent to the
modem at this port.
No Dialtone Enable:
This feature is not currently active, and is reserved for
future use. (Default = Off.)
Note:
When communicating with the RPS via modem, these parameters will not be
changed until after you exit command mode and disconnect.
