Port Mapping

Idle timeout

When COM port mapping is enabled, this specifies the period of inactivity before the port is automatically shut down.

Port type

This specifies the port type as Raw or Telnet. You should select Raw for devices that receive data directly, such as printers. Telnet should be selected for devices that interact with the user, such as hosts.

Use custom settings

Default: Checked

Checking this box will enable you to specify general COM port settings using the following options.

Speed

Default: 9600

This specifies the transmit and receive baud rate.

UART Type

Default: UART 16550

This specifies the serial port type.

Parity

Default: none

This specifies the parity mode for each transmitted character. If the number of Databits is 8, set this option to None.

Selecting Odd will cause an eighth bit to be added with a value of 1 if the previous 7 bits add up to an even number, and 0 if the previous 7 bits add up to an odd number. Selecting Even will cause an eighth bit to be added with a value of 1 if the previous 7 bits add up to an odd number, and 0 if the previous 7 bits add up to an even number. Mark parity will set every eighth bit to 1 and Space parity every bit to 0.
