full. Send a "Start" signal to start data-sending when the receiving buffer is empty. The

options are

None

and Hardware RTS/CTS.

VT-UTF8 Combo Key Support

Select Enabled to enable VT-UTF8 Combination Key support for ANSI/VT100 terminals. The

options are

Enabled

and Disabled

Recorder Mode

Select Enabled to capture the data displayed on a terminal and send it as text messages to

a remote server. The options are

Disabled

and Enabled.

Resolution 100x31
