Keyspan:High Speed USB Serial Adapter for Mac OS-v1.9 User Manual

The Default buffer size text box allows to set a different buffer size to be established for the specified Adapter port. This change takes effect upon restart of your computer. Since most applications which use serial ports supply their own buffer, this setting often has no benefit.

The Double Baud Rate check box will allow certain older applications to use higher data rates than were foreseen when the application was written. Some applications, for example, may not provide the opportunity to select a baud rate above 57.6 Kbps. When this check box is checked, the port will use a baud rate which is exactly double the rate specified in the application software. Changes will take effect upon restart of your computer.

WARNING: DO NOT enable this check box if you do not need to. Enabling this check box in software that supports the baud rates higher than 57.6 will cause that software to operate incorrectly.

The Tx Ack Advance popup menu allows you to set the Keyspan adapter's transmit behavior to achieve the optimum compromise between compatibility (exact emulation of built-in ports) and maximum throughput. Please read the TX Ack Advance appendix in this manual for more detailed information.

The RTS follows DTR check box will cause the RTS modem signal to follow the DTR modem signal. This option is ON by default. You should not modify this setting unless you are sure that you need to.

The Emulate Modem/Printer Port check box allows your Keyspan adapter to emulate the "Printer Port" or "Modem Port" as found on older Macintosh computers. This allows software that is not CommToolBox Savvy to use a port on the Keyspan adapter.

Note: This option is only available on Macs that do not have a built-in Modem or Printer (ie "Blue and White" G3s, iMacs, iBooks, etc.). On Keyspan Adapters that only have ONE serial port, you can only emulate the Printer port.
