The Task Status page for an IoTServer with no protocols configured yet will have only the Data Engine displayed.

Go to the Task Configuration page. The task list will appear as illustrated below. Select the task you wish to configure. Keep in mind channel 0 is always the Data Engine, channel 1 will always be the SNMP Agent if you wish to include one, and channels 2 and 3 are always reserved for the serial ports 2 and 3.

Let's configure data channel 2, or serial port 2, as an example. Select that channel from the system task list. Next, select its function from the function list. Then enter the applicable parameters like baud rate, etc. The nature of additional parameters will vary according to function selected for the channel.

All tasks must be initially started up with at least a "minimal" XML file. You cannot start a task with absolutely no starting point. If you have no previously saved XML that you wish to load, you can use the minimal file already provided in the device, and simply edit the minimal configuration to make changes as desired at a later time.

After you have entered all of the necessary settings, and selected a configuration file, click Save Settings.
