Item Option Description
Terminal Type
VT100
VT100+
VT-UTF8
ANSI [Default] ,
Emulation: ANSI: Extender ASCII char set.
VT100: ASCII char set. VT100+:Extends
VT100 to support color, function keys, etc.
VT-UTF8: Uses UTF8 encoding to map
Unicode chars onto 1 or more bytes.
Bits per second
9600
19200
38400
57600
115200 [Default]
Select serial port transmission speed. The
speed must be matched on the other side.
Long or noisy lines may require lower
speeds.
Data Bits
7
8 [Default]
Data Bits.
Parity
None [Default]
Even
Odd
Mark
Space
A parity bit can be sent with the data bits to
detect some transmission errors. Even:
parity bit is 0 if the num of 1
’s in the data bits
is even. Odd
: parity bit is 0 if num of 1’s in the
data bits is odd. Mark: parity bit is always 1.
Space: Parity bit is always 0. Mark and
Space Parity do not allow for error detection.
They can be used as an additional data bit.
Stop Bits
1 [Default]
2
Stop bits indicate the end of a serial data
packet. (A start bit indicates the beginning).
The standard setting is 1 stop bit.
Communication with slow devices may
require more than 1 stop bit.
Flow Control
None
Hardware RTS/CTS [Default]
Flow control can prevent data loss from
buffer overflow. When sending data, if the
receiving buffers are full, a
‘stop’ signal can
be sent to stop the data flow. Once the
buffers are empty, a
‘start’ signal can be sent
to re-start the flow. Hardware flow control
uses two wires to send start/stop signals.
VT-UTF8 Combo Key
Support
Disabled
Enabled [Default]
Enable VT-UTF8 Combination Key Support
for ANSI/VT100 terminals.
Recorder Mode
