17.3 Serial Connectivity
17.3.1 Description
When using the serial connectivity with applications such as HyperTerminal, it may be
necessary to optimize the character delays so that the FIFO buffer used in the MultiLink
ML1200 Managed Field Switch is not overrun. The important parameters to set for any
serial connectivity software is to set the line delay to be 500 ms and the character delay to
be 50 ms. For example, using HyperTerminal this can be set under File > Properties. When
the Properties window is open, click on the ASCII Setup button and in the Line Delay entry
box enter in 500 and in the Character Delay entry box enter in 50 as shown below.
