Setting

Function

Enabled

When the Enabled checkbox is checked, it tells the PageGate server to run the GetSerial module. If the Enabled option is greyed out, please enable the master setting for GetSerial in the Program Settings.

Serial Port

This field determines the Communications (COM) Port the GetSerial module will monitor for incoming data.

Baud Rate

This setting must match the Baud Rate the sending device uses.

Parity

This setting must match the Baud Rate the sending device uses.

Data Bits

This setting must match the Baud Rate the sending device uses.

Stop Bits

This setting must match the Baud Rate the sending device uses.

Handshaking

If the sending device uses handshaking for flow control, GetSerial must mirror the handshaking method (Xon/Xoff or RTS). If the sending device does not use handshaking, this field must be set to None.

Init String

Init strings are not typically used with Serial Connections but may be used if a modem is attached to the same COM port specified in the Serial Port setting.
