serial-SerialHelper

This container slot configures the serial port of any serial-based driver (found under the driver’s network-level component as Serial Port Config).

Figure 83. SerialHelper properties

To access these properties, expand Config > Drivers and right—click the network node, click Views > AX Property Sheet and expand Serial Port Config or click Serial Port Config.

NOTE: These properties are also under any SerialTunnel (in a station’s TunnelService). These components support a tunneling connection to the same type of network. You should configure these properties the same as for the SerialHelper of the associated driver network.
