Setting

Meaning

 

 

Parity

This bit checks the integrity of the transmitted data. Choices are:

 

Even, Odd, None, Mark, and Space. Set this to match the parity

 

setting of the connected device. Default is None (which is the default

 

for the majority of serial devices).

 

 

Stop Bits

This indicates that a character has been transmitted. Set this to

 

match the stop bit setting of the connected device. Choices are: 1,

 

1.5, and 2. Default is 1 (which is the default for the majority of serial

 

devices).

 

 

Flow Control

This allows you to choose how the data flow will be controlled.

 

Choices are: None, Hardware (RTS/CTS), and XON/XOFF. Set this

 

to match the flow control setting of the connected device. Default is

 

None.

 

 

Enable Toggle

Enabling this parameter allows the DTR signal to toggle between

DTR

disabled and enabled when the port is occupied. Choices are: No,

 

and Yes. Default is No.

 

Note: For some devices, in order for Enabled to work correctly, you

 

must first disable DTR (select No, then click Update), then Enable it

 

(select Yes, then click Update).

Online Detect

This allows you to set the DSR signal to detect online status or not.

 

Choices are: None and DSR. Default is DSR.

 

 

Out CRLF

This allows you to select whether to send a Carriage Return and Line

Translation

Feed signal (CRLF), or only a Carriage Return signal (CR). Choices

 

are: None (which sends CRLF) and CRLF to CR (which only sends

 

CR), Default is None.

 

Note: If your device outputs double spaced lines, it means that a line

 

feed is automatically added to a carriage return signal. In that case,

 

choose CRLF to CR.

 

 

Suspend

The Suspend character is used to bring up the Suspend Menu in

Character

Telnet sessions (seeTelnet, page 47).

 

Note: Valid characters are from A—Z, except H, I, J, and M. Those

 

four characters may not be used.
