Summary
The Serial Utilities page is used to make serial communication configurations of different types. This manual page provides an overview of the Serial Utilities page in RUTXR1 devices.
Modem Control
The Modem serial type is used to manage modem functionality which could be accessed using shell interface. For this purpose you may want use CR/LF (Carriage Return, Line Feed) capable applications like PuTTY on Windows and microcom, minicom, cutecom or similar applications on Linux.
Status
General settings
Field | Value | Description |
---|---|---|
Enable | off | on; default: off | Turns the instance on or off. |
Name | string; default: none | Instance name, generated by the user when first creating the configuration. |
Device | USB RS232 interface; default: USB RS232 interface | Specifies which serial port will be used for serial communication. |
Baud rate (USB) | integer [300..4000000]; default:9600 | Data rate for serial data transmission (in bits per second (bps)). |
Data bits | 8; default: 8 | Number of data bits for each character. |
Stop bits | 1 | 2; default: 1 | Stop bits sent at the end of every character allow the receiving signal hardware to detect the end of a character and to resynchronise with the character stream. Electronic devices usually use one stop bit. Two stop bits are required if slow electromechanical devices are used. |
Parity | None | Odd | Even | Mark | Space; default: None | In serial transmission, parity is a method of detecting errors. An extra data bit is sent with each data character, arranged so that the number of 1 bits in each character, including the parity bit, is always odd or always even. If a byte is received with the wrong number of 1s, then it must have been corrupted. However, an even number of errors can pass the parity check.
|
Flow control | None; default: None | In many circumstances a transmitter might be able to send data faster than the receiver is able to process it. To cope with this, serial lines often incorporate a "handshaking" method, usually distinguished between hardware and software handshaking. |
Mode | Partial control | Full control; default: Partial control | Specifies modem control mode.
|
Advanced settings
Field | Value | Description |
---|---|---|
Start up message | string; default: none | Prints message to serial device when modem control is ready. |
Canonical mode | off | on; default: off | Forwards data to modem only when new line symbol ('\n') is detected. |
Console
Console mode requires no further configuration than the settings above and is used as a direct-access method to the device's shell interface. For this purpose you may want use such applications as PuTTY on Windows and microcom, minicom, picocom or similar applications on Linux.

Over IP
The Over IP serial type is used to manage serial connections over a TCP/IP network.
Instance Example
Here's an example demonstrating Over IP in action, running in Client + Server Mode.
Serial Device Configuration
Configure serial port communication parameters in the Serial Device Configuration section.
Field | Value | Description |
---|---|---|
Enable | off | on; default: off | Turns the instance on or off. |
Name | string; default: none | Instance name, generated by the user when first creating the configuration. |
Device | USB RS232 interface; default: USB RS232 interface | Specifies which serial port will be used for serial communication. |
Baud rate (USB) | integer [300..4000000]; default:9600 | Data rate for serial data transmission (in bits per second (bps)). |

Over IP Configuration Settings
You can configure network related parameters of the serial connection in the Over IP Configuration secion.
Field | Value | Description |
---|---|---|
Mode | Server | Client | Client + server | Bidirect; default: Server | This device's role in the connection:
|
Protocol | TCP | UDP; default: TCP | Protocol used in the communication process. |

Then enter the IP address and save.
