User Guide: Serial Agent

Connect to a Serial Server.

Make sure that the device mapping for the manager docker container in the file docker-compose.yml looks like the following:

...
...
  manager:
    restart: always
    ...
    ...
    devices:
      - /dev/ttyACM0:/dev/ttyS0
...
...      

In this example the serial port /dev/ttyACM0 of the host is mapped to the serial port /dev/ttyS0 of the manager docker container.

Agent configuration

The following describes the supported agent configuration attributes:

Attribute	Description	Value type	Required
serialPort	Serial port device address (e.g. COM1 or /dev/ttyACM0)	Text	Y
serialBaudrate	Serial port baudrate	Integer (Default = 38400)	N

As this is a generic IO Agent the optional attributes described in the Generic Agent Overview can also be used.
