Matching the Port and Device Characteristics
CHARACTER SIZE and PARITY Settings
The AUTOBAUD characteristic functions only if the input and output speeds of the port device are the same and the character size and parity settings have the combinations listed in the following table:
Character Size | Parity |
|
|
8 | None |
7 | Even |
|
|
Example: Disabling AUTOBAUD
The following example shows how to disable the autobaud characteristic:
Local> CHANGE PORT 5 AUTOBAUD DISABLED
CHARACTER SIZEThe CHARACTER SIZE characteristic indicates the number of bits in a data character. The access server supports character sizes of 7 or 8 bits, and the default is 8 bits.
Refer to the operator’s guide for the port device to determine appropriate character size.
If you enable autobaud, the access server automatically adjusts the character size.
Example: Setting the CHARACTER SIZE
The following example shows how to set the character size:
Local> CHANGE PORT 5 CHARACTER SIZE 7
PARITYThe PARITY characteristic determines the type of parity checks that the access server performs. If you enable autobaud, the access server automatically adjusts the parity.
PARITY Settings
The following table lists the available parity checks:
Setting | Check Performed Per Character |
|
|
Even | Even number of one bits |
Odd | Odd number of one bits |
Mark | A set parity bit |
