Serial Port Protocol
Terminals: All Trakker Antares terminals.
Description: Allows you to set the protocol that the serial port uses to communicate
with the connected device. Communications protocols determine exactly
how data is transmitted between the terminal and the serial device. Each
protocol has parameters you can set, such as baud rate and parity. Both the
terminal and the serial device must use the same protocol and parameter
settings to communicate properly.
how data is transmitted between the terminal and the serial device. Each
protocol has parameters you can set, such as baud rate and parity. Both the
terminal and the serial device must use the same protocol and parameter
settings to communicate properly.
The terminal can communicate in these five protocols:
• Binary
• Configurable protocol
• Master Polling
• Multi-Drop (COM2 only)
• Polling Mode D
Additionally, you can simulate Point-to-Point protocol by modifying the
Configurable protocol. Each protocol is described in the networking
chapter in your user’s manual.
