NOTE: The RS-232 COM port is intended for use with relatively simple devices that send and receive small packets and do not generate a lot of data. A small amount of delay may be normal when sending or receiving some control commands on a low-speed serial network. Cresnet networks with many devices tend to exhibit more delay.
