Basic serial setting

The basic serial port settings must match the serial settings of the connected device. If you do not know these settings consult the documentation that came with your serial device. These serial settings may be documented as 9600 8N1, which means that the device is using a baud rate of 9600 bits per second, 8 data bits, no parity, and 1 stop bit.

When using RealPort (COM port redirection) or RFC 2217, these settings are supplied by applications running on the computer or server and you do not need to change the default values on your Digi device server.

The Description specifies an optional character string that to use for identifying the device connected to the port.
