TRIPP LITE B055-001-SER Serial Server Adapter Cable User Guide
Configuration
To configure the B055-001-SER to interact with the connected device, you need to set its serial parameters to match the parameters of the device:
Note: The B055-001-SER settings cannot be directly accessed from the Web
Browser OSD. When in the Web Browser OSD, you must access a connected
computer/server, and then re open the OSD using the GUI icon .
You will then be able to access the B055-001-SER settings via the steps below.
The Local Console and NonBrowser OSDs allow you to directly access these
settings.
-
In the Port Access page sidebar, select the port that the B055-001 SER is connected to.
-
Select the Port Configuration tab on the menu bar.
-
In the Properties section, drop down each of the lists to select the port property values that match the ones used by the connected serial console device. The port property settings that the B055-001-SER support are listed in the following table:
Setting| Meaning
---|---
Bits per second (Baud Rate)| This sets the port’s data transfer speed. Choices range from 300 to 38400 (drop down list shows them all). Set the rate to match the Baud Rate setting of the serial console device. The default is 9600. If the Baud Rate is set to 9600, FLOW CONTROL must be used. Note: FLOW CONTROL is not supported by all devices. For these devices, 9600 is the max supported Baud Rate.
Data Bits| This sets the number of bits used to transmit one character of data. Choices are 7 or 8. Set this to match the data bit setting of the serial console device. The default is 8 (this is the default for the majority of serial console devices).
Parity| This bit checks the integrity of the transmitted data. Choices are: None, Odd or Even. Set this to match the parity setting of the serial console device. The default is Odd.
Stop Bits| This indicates that a character has been transmitted. Set this to match the stop bit setting of the serial console device. Choices are 1 or 2. The default is 1 (this is the default for the majority of serial console devices).
Flow Control| This allows you to choose how the data flow will be controlled. Choices are None, Hardware and XON/XOFF. Set this to match the flow control setting of the serial console device. The default is None.
Access Mode| This allows you to set the serial console device’s access mode. Choices are Share, Occupy and Exclusive. The default is Share. (See the B064-Series manual for details on access modes.) -
When you have finished making all of your selections, click Save.
