For proper operation, it is imperative that these settings always match the 
settings of the device to which the Ethernet Adapter is connected via the 
RS-232 port. There are two groups of parameters that need to be configured 
to accomplish this task: UART Settings and Flow Control Settings.

Flow control is the process of adjusting the flow of data from one device 
to another to ensure that the receiving device can handle all of the 
incoming data.

To configure the UART settings:

1 Select the baud rate of your device.

The baud rate indicates the data transfer rate of the serial port. 

2 Determine the data bits setting of the device you are connecting to the 

Ethernet Adapter, then set the Data Bits setting for the Ethernet Adapter that 
matches the data bits setting of that device.

The Data Bits setting determines the number of bits used to transmit 
data. The possible values are 7 and 8.

3 Determine the stop bits setting of the device you are connecting to the 

Ethernet Adapter, then set the Stop Bits setting on the Ethernet Adapter that 
matches the stop bits setting of that device.

The Stop Bits setting determines the number of bits used to represent an 
end of a character. The value can be 1 or 2.

4 Determine the parity bit setting of the device you are connecting to the 

Ethernet Adapter, then set the Parity Bit setting on the Ethernet Adapter that 
matches the parity bit setting of that device.

The Parity Bit setting is used to check for correct data transmission. 
Options are: none, even, and odd.

For Server Mode, click Server Mode and enter the port number to which 
the Ethernet Adapter connects in the List on port field. The default port 
number is 4000.

For Client Mode, select Client Mode and enter the IP address and port 
number to which the Ethernet Adapter connects. The default port 
number is 4000.
