Peripherals Tab

The Peripherals screen is used to manage the Coms pass‑through serial port and the
mouse+keyboard forwarding operation.

RS-232 pass-through serial port

The RS‑232 pass‑through serial port supports two modes of operation:

Serial RS‑232 pass‑through mode

Serial RS‑232 data channel mode

In either mode, the serial ports on each VNM 250 do not need to share a common baud
rate. However, where large amounts of data are sent from a high‑speed to a low‑speed data
link, some form of handshaking or flow control may be required to prevent buffer overflow
on the output device. Standard flow control methods are fully supported.
