Enable Hardware
Handshake
(DTC 72MX and
DTC 16TN only)
Mark this box with an x or X to have the DTC enable hardware handshaking for a
DTC 72MX or DTC 16TN. Hardware handshaking provides a way to control the
flow of data between a terminal and the connected system.
By default, hardware handshaking is disabled. Hardware handshake is not available
if attached device is set to European Modem.
Enable Keep Alive
When there is no data transfer between the DTC and the system, a mechanism called
“keep alive” is activated to detect if the connection still exists.
To avoid extra traffic on the LAN, you can disable this function (the default setting)
Enable Flow Control
When enabled, the data flow between the DTC port and the device connected it is
connected to is made with Xon/Xoff characters. This function is also known as
“software handshake.” This setting should be disabled if you do not want DTC to
interpret Xon/Xoff characters coming from the device.
This setting is enabled by default.
Enable Port Config
Saved In Binary
Specifies if the port configuration parameters data length and parity have to be
forced when selecting binary mode (Telnet negotiation, user interface command).
When enabled, the port configuration is used as is. When disabled, the port
parameters of 8 bits for data length and parity forced to “none” are used as the port
goes into binary mode.
This setting is disabled by default.
