Parity

A parity bit can be sent with the data bits to detect some
transmission errors. 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. Mark and
Space Parity do not allow for error detection. They can be used as
an additional data bit. Items: None, Even, Odd, Mark, Space.
Default is None.

Stop Bits

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. Items: 1, 2. Default is 1.

Flow Control

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. Software flow control uses
start/stop ASCII chars, which slows down the data flow and can be
problematic if binary data is being sent. Items: None, Hardware
RTS/CTS. Default is None.

Recorder Mode

On this mode enabled only text will be send. This is to capture
Terminal data. Items: Disabled, Enabled. Default is Disabled.

Resolution 100x31

Enables or disables extended terminal resolution. Items: Disabled,
Enabled. Default is Enabled.

Legacy OS Redirection

On Legacy OS, the Number of Rows and Columns supported
redirection. Items: 80x24, 80x25. Default is 80x24.
