Chapter 5

Bits per second [57600]
Selects serial port transmission speed. The speed must be matched on the

other side. Long or noisy lines may require lower speeds.

Configuration options: [9600] [19200] [38400] [57600] [115200]
Data Bits [8]
Configuration options: [7] [8]
Parity [None]
A parity bit can be sent with the data bits to detect some transmission errors.

[Mark] and [Space] parity do not allow for error detection.

[None]

None

[Even]

parity bit is 0 if the num of 1’s in the data bits is even

[Odd]

parity bit is 0 if num of 1’s in the data bits is odd

[Mark]

parity bit is always 1

[Space]

parity bit is always 0

Stop Bits [1]
Stop bits indicate the end of a serial data packet. (A start bit indicates the

beginning.) The standard setting is 1 stop bit. Communication with slow

devices may require more than 1 stop bit. Configuration options: [1] [2]
Flow Control [Hardware RTS/CTS]
Flow control can prevent data loss from buffer overflow. When sending data,

if the receiving buffers are full, a “stop” signal can be sent to stop the data

flow. Once the buffers are empty, a “start” signal can be sent to re-start the

flow. Hardware flow control uses two wires to send start/stop signals.

Configuration options: [None] [Hardware RTS/CTS]
Recorder Mode [Disabled]
With this mode enabled only text will be sent. This is to capture Terminal

data. Configuration options: [Disabled] [Enabled]
Recorder 100x31 [Disabled]
Allows you to enable or disable extend terminal resolution.

Configuration options: [Disabled] [Enabled]
Legacy OS Redirection Resolution [80x24]
Configures the number of rows and columns supported on legacy OS.

Configuration options: [80x24] [80x25]
