7.4 Device Ports Window
For testing or configuration purposes it may be necessary to communicate with modems or devices
that are connected to the i50 serial ports. The Ports screen provides access to all six serial ports,
which are: COM1, PROG, Wi-Fi, COM2, GPRS, Iridium, GPS and COM3. Open this window using
the Device Ports button on the programmer toolbar.
Figure 6 shows the ports window.

To open a port, simply select it, along with the desired COM speed and settings, and then use the
Open Port button. The screen acts as a simple terminal showing data received, and allowing data to
be sent by typing. The Close Port button closes the port, and the Binary option is used to display all
incoming data in hexadecimal notation, allowing the display of non-printable data.
Caution: sending commands to modules can alter configuration values and cause connection
problems.
All ports can be accessed, with the exception of the port that is being used to program the unit. For
example, if the programming cable is connected to the COM3 connector, you will not be able to open
COM3.
Note: the COM1, PROG and Wi-Fi connectors are shared by one internal serial port. If you wish to
access any of these connectors you will need to program the unit using either the COM2 or COM3
port.
