Setting of NDC Serial Port Parameters

This dialog box appears when a user selects a port in the NDC - PORTS dialog box and clicks the Settings button or when the user double clicks a port in the Ports list.

  Each parameter has a list of options to select from. The options can be obtained by clicking the scroll arrow to the right of each box.

   Select the value required for the parameters.

   Choose the OK Button to save the changes.

   Choose Close Button(NDC - PORTS dialog).

Note : When the user selects Software in the Flow Control Box, a dialog box to set the flow control characters appears.

About NDC RemoteMates

NDC RemoteMates asynchronous card is an 8-ports or 4-ports serial communication adapter that is used to interface a host PC. This adapter contains an on-board Intel 80C186 microprocessor. This is responsible for controlling the UART and buffering the data.

RemoteMates is a memory based asynchronous board, with a 115.2 Kbps bi-directional throughput. ND8108 features 8 high speed RS-232 serial ports, while ND8104 features 4 high speed RS-232 serial ports.

The board uses a 8K bytes dual port memory to exchange data with the host PC. No Interrupt Request Line (IRQ) or Direct Memory Access (DMA) is required.

Flow Control Characters for NDC Serial Port


Communication Settings

Settings that specify how data is transferred between the computer and an device.


Baud Rate

Baud Rate specifies the rate at which data bits are transferred in or out of a Serial device.


Data Bits

Data Bits specify the length of the data word (in bits) transferred from the Serial device.


Stop Bits

Stop bits specify the length of the End Of Character (in bits).


Parity

Parity is a term used to identify whether a data word has an odd or even number of 1’s.


Flow Control

Flow Control is a method of stopping either the transmission or reception of characters.


Flow Control Characters for NDC Serial Port

This dialog box appears when the user selects Software as the method of flow control. It displays the default flow control characters for Transmit/Receive Flow control.

 Receive Xon

 Receive Xoff

 Transmit Xon

 Transmit Xoff

The flow control characters( in HEX) for Receive Xon, Transmit Xon, Receive Xoff, Transmit Xoff  should be entered. Only when the user clicks on OK in the Flow Control Box and OK in the Settings dialog box, with the Software option selected for Flow Control, will these changes be reflected. Otherwise the default values for Flow Control will be used.
