Communication line configuration
...
- Communication line categories: Serial, SerialOverUDP Device Redundant, RFC2217 Client, MOXA IP Serial Library, MODEM.
- To set the transmission parameters, use the even parity, 7 data bits, and 1 stop bit in all line categories!
- A transfer rate according to the setting of a specific device or modem (in protocol mode D the transfer rate is 2400 baud according to the standard).
- The implicit parameters comply with the MODEM line (tab "Modem - parameters"), the specific parameters can be configured by station protocol parameters for modem initialization.

Communication station configuration
...
- Communication protocol "IEC62056-21:2002 Serial".
- Station The station address (device) is optional. If the parameter is empty, the device must answer. If there is are more devices on one line (e.g. RS485 bus RS485), the device address must be set. Device The device address consists of a maximum of 32 characters that are formed from figures (0 - 9), capital letters (A - Z), small letters (a - z), or space ( ). The zero zeroes in front of a valid figure are ignored (i.e. address 10203 = 010203 = 000010203).

These parameters influence some optional protocol parameters. Following station protocol parameters can be set:

Time The time delay between sending the request and reading the answer. Note: a device sends a 3-character manufacturer's identification in the identification message. |
Standard The standard defines that if the 3-rd character is a lower case letter, (e.g. in identifications ELm or UNi), the minimum reaction time for such a device is 20 ms instead of 200 ms. If the 3-rd character is an upper case letter, this does not preclude supporting a 20 ms reaction time. | ms | 200 |

| Full tracing of communication, loaded values of I/O tags and other debug information are shown. | YES/NO | NO |
| The parameter is used to ignore the "Number of Periods" value that a particular electricity meter (Schrack LZQJ) sent in the data reading for the Demand Register (class_id = 5). He sent this between the OBIS code and the value itself, which led to an unsuccessful attempt by the D2000 KOM process to interpret the value as an optional timestamp and subsequently to discard the entire data line read. Example of such a data line: 1.4.0(007)(0224*kW) Note: sending "Number of Periods" does not comply with IEC62056-21 |
