Unique interface index of the serial interface. |

Connector |
The physical connector type. When configured as DCE the pins on the output connector act as a DCE interface. If configured as DTE on the output connector act as a DTE interface. dte(1) DTE output pins dce(2) DCE output pins Enumerations: |
Leads |
The value of IfLeads has influence on the state of the physical layer (L1State). When configured as IfLeads=enabled, the state of the physical layer depends on the signals of the control interface pins Indication/Control on X.21 or RTS/CTS on the other protocols. When configured as IfLeads=disabled, the state of the physical layer stays always up. enabled(1) interface pins accepted. disabled(2) ignore interface pins. Enumerations: |
Clock |
The physical layer (layer 1) clocking mode. When configured as AUTO the clock provided depends what is configured on connector. If connector is configured as DTE clock must provided from external, if the connector is configured as DCE clock is generated and is provided at the output pins. It is possible to configure the clock independed from connector type. EXTERNAL clock means the clock must provided by the external device and INTERNAL clock means the clock is generated by the brick and is provided on the output pins. X.21 one clock line is provided. V.35/V.36 two clock lines are provided. auto(1) connector = DTE = extern, DCE = intern extern(2) clock pins operate as input. intern(3) clock pins operate as output. Enumerations: - auto (1)
- extern (2)
- intern (3)
|
ClockEdge |
The value of IfClockEdge influences the (internal) active clock edge(s) for generating/sampling data on the serial line. This value should be left on DEFAULT under normal circumstances. Nevertheless, in some rare cases it is possible the connection does not work properly. This behaviour may be produced by timing inconsistencies over the serial line in conjunction with some disadvantageous clock/data processing at the DTE/DCE devices and is very device couple specific. The several settings allow shifting data generation/sampling by half a cycle of the incoming serial clock. The variation of this setting can help to make a not working connection working. A typical sign for an erroneous situation in this sense is the reception of massive corrupted frames at one or both communication end points. default(1) the clock edges for generating/sampling are the default ones rxc-inverted(2) the receiver's data sampling is shifted by half a cycle of incoming serial clock (currently only supported by X8500) txc-inverted(3) the transmitter's data generation is shifted by half a cycle of incoming serial clock rxc-txc-inverted(4) both the receiver's data sampling and the transmitter's data generation is shifted by half a cycle of incoming serial clock (currently only supported by X8500) Enumerations: - default (1)
- rxc-inverted (2)
- txc-inverted (3)
- rxc-txc-inverted (4)
|
Speed |
The serial interface speed in bits per second. The range is dependant on the type of the line (balanced/unbalanced) and the quality and length of the cable. Over a short distance (about 5 m) and with a shielded cable speeds of up to 8 Mbit/sec are possible. |
L2Mode |
The layer 2 mode. This value has influence on the HDLC address field (first byte of a HDCL frame). When configured as DTE the address in a command frame is 0x01, when configured as DCE it is 0x03. For response frames it is vice versa. When configured as AUTO, layer 2 is set to the same as connector is set. dte(1) HDLC address 0x01 dce(2) HDLC address 0x03 auto(3) same as conector = DTE=0x01 DCE=0x03 Enumerations: |
CableDetection |

Bundle |
Index of the bundle to aggregate multiple Channels to one interface. Range: 0 to 255 |
L1State |
The serial physical layer state dn(1) physical layer is inactive up(2) physical layer is active Enumerations: |
SpeedReal |
In DCE/internal clock mode this is the rounded speed in bits per second, because not every baudrate can exactly be generated. In DTE/external clock mode this is the measured speed, where measurement is possible, or the configured speed in serialIfSpeed. |
License |
Shows wether a serial license associated with this serial port port is required, missing or in use. Enumerations: - not-required (1)
- missing (2)
- used (3)

RxPackets |
Count of received valid Frames. |
RxOctets |
Count of received bytes. |
TxPackets |
Count of transmitted valid Frames. |
TxOctets |
Count of transmitted bytes. |
RxResets |
Count of receiver resets. Under rare circumstances it might be necessary to reset the receiver to work properly. |
RxAborts |
Count of receiver aborts. The sender of a frame can indicate a frame as aborted with a special Abort sequence. |
RxOverruns |
Count of receiver overruns. If the serial port is unable to grant sufficiently soon/often the bus, the RxFIFO may fill up. This leads to loss of data. |
RxCRCErrors |
Count of corrupted frames. Errors due to interference on the serial cable. |
RxGiantFrames |
Count of received frames with illegal framesize. This can occur if a frame delimiter is destroyed. |
TxResets |
Count of transmitter resets. Under rare circumstances it might be necessary to reset the transmitter to work properly. |
TxAborts |
Count of transmitter aborts. While sending a frame it might be necessary to indicate this frame as aborted. In this case the receiver regards this frame as illegal. |
TxUnderruns |
Count of transmitter underruns. The serial data for the serial port is supplied too slowly. |
TxGiantFrames |
Count of transmitted frames with illegal framesize. This can occur if an upper module creates packets with more than the maximum allowed packet size. |
