An ASCII Port Options panel appears for each set of eight ASCII ports. It enables you to
configure the port type (host, display, or printer) and some other communications parameters
for the port.
Port Number
This is the board and connector, referred to as ASCII port number. In this example, ADA
board A (first one).
Port Type
Choose the type of ASCII host or device attached to each port. Options are:
• Host
• Display
• Printer
• None
Baud Rate
Check one of the following baud rates for each port:
• 300
• 600
• 1200
• 2400
• 4800
• 9600 (default)
• 19200
• AUTO (for display stations only)
The auto baud/auto parity (AUTO) option allows LINCS to recognize the ASCII display
station’s baud rate and parity, using key input from the user.
