Parity | The parity check regime - none - no parity checking is performed
- odd - odd bits parity checking is performed
- even - even bits parity checking is performed
|
| Data bits | The number of data bits, between 5 and 8 |
Handshake | The type of handshake the serial port requires: - none - no handshake required
- rts - Request request to Send
- xonxoff - X-On/X-Off
- rtsxonxoff - either RTS or X-On/X-Off is used

| Username | The username required by the data source, if applicable |
| Password | An optional password which is sent upon successful connection |
| IP script | The script file used by NetPBX to check for new data |
Trickle frequency | | Trickle data | This option allows you reset the connection between NetPBX and remote host, in case of inactivity. When the system becomes inactive, NetPBX sends a string of data back to the remote host in order to test the connection. Sending the trickle back data will emit a detectable error in case a disconnection has occurred and, thus, will cause the connection to reset. The option allows you to configure the amount of inactivity that must occur (in miliseconds) before a trickle back is performed. |
| Trickle data | A string containing the data to be sent back |
Pipe server

XML file
This method monitors an XML file for new nodes. Any new nodes are extracted and presented into a new XML document. An To specify which nodes to monitor, an XPath query is used; to specify identify which nodes to monitor. A are new, a unique element is required to track which nodes are new.

| Outer element | The name of the outer XML element to be used to contain any new nodes when the new XML document is created for output |
| Check interval | The time interval the system is checking for a new node.
|
| Delay | A value, in milliseconds, that specifies the artificial delay that is waited when a change in the source XML file is discovered. If the file were to be accessed immediately upon a change, i.e. without such a delay, the operating system would most likely not allow access to the file so soon, causing a sharing violation |
