that came with your R-Port module to determine if you need to modify the
default settings to complete the installation. To be able to configure your
RPort modules, you must be logged in as admin. Other users will be able
to view which modules are active but cannot configure them.
Once you are logged in, choose the Admin/Setup option from the menu
at the top of the Home screen in the Web interface. Click External Serial
consoles setup and control. You will be presented with the Serial Con-
soles Attached menu, and a table with the following headings:
#:You can assign a value (1 ~ 99) to each attached serial remote control
module. This does not affect the configuration or operation of the device
in any way, but is simply a means to sort this list for ease of management.
Name/Description: An identifier for the R-Port module. Like the number
assignment, it is for ease of administration only.
Baud (bps): This is the communication speed for the device, and the set-
ting here must match the setting on the module itself. All common baud
rates between 300 and 115,200bps are supported.
Mode: Sets the character framing scheme that the SV441DUSBI will use
with the R-Port module. You can choose from the following selections:
8N1: Eight bits, no parity, one stop bit (default and most common)
7N1/701/7E1/7M1/7S1: Seven bits, (none/odd/even/mark/space) parity,
one stop bit
8N1/801/8E1/8M1/8S1: Eight bits, (none/odd/even/mark/space) parity,
one stop bit
8N2: Eight bits, no parity, two stop bits
Force DCD: Forces the Carrier Detect signal to be active at all times.
Normally, DCD becomes active when a new user connects and is
dropped when the last user disconnects (a response that is similar to
many modems). When active, the device will logout and reset itself if the
carrier signal is lost, increasing security. Note that this may not work with
all devices and could impair proper operation in some circumstances. The
default setting is off.
Console Log: Clicking this link will open a separate Web page that will
display the last 200 characters committed to that device’s console log.
Note that existing data is overwritten automatically when the 200 charac-
ter limit is reached.
