The following shows how to set CHARACTER SIZE to 7 for port 5:
Local> CHANGE PORT 5 CHARACTER SIZE 7
The communications server software automatically formats the characters
for transmission from the communications server to an internet host or LAT
service.
•
PARITY
Determine the device parity:
EVEN: The communications server checks for an even number of bits per
character.
ODD: The communications server checks for an odd number of bits per
character.
MARK: The communications server checks for a set parity bit per
character.
SPACE: The communications server checks for a cleared parity bit per
character.
NONE: The communications server does no checking. Use this if parity is
not supported on the port device.
If you enable AUTOBAUD, the communications server automatically adjusts
the parity. The following example shows how to change the parity to ODD on
port 5:
Local> CHANGE PORT 5 PARITY ODD
•
SPEED
Determine the device speed: 75, 110, 150, 300, 600, 1200, 1800, 2000, 2400,
4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, or 57600 bits per second (bps). The communications
server automatically adjusts the port speed if you enable AUTOBAUD. The
following example shows how to change the port speed to 2400 on port 5:
Local> CHANGE PORT 5 SPEED 2400
You can also use the optional keywords INPUT and OUTPUT to set up split-
speed operations. For more information on the SET/DEFINE/CHANGE PORT
SPEED command, refer to Ethernet Communications Server Commands.
•
STOP BITS
Determine the number of stop bits used by the device type: 1 or 2. You can
use STOP BITS DYNAMIC to have the communications server automatically
use 2 stop bits for port speeds up to and including 110 bps, and 1 stop bit for
port speeds above 110 bps.
