VT100 ASCII character set.
VT100+ Extends VT100 to support color, function keys, etc.
VT-UTF8 Uses UTF8 encoding to map Unicode characters onto 1 or more
bytes.
Data Bits
The options are 7 and 8.
Bits Per Second
Selects the serial port transmission speed. The speed must match the other
side. Long or noisy lines may require a lower speed.
Parity
A parity bit can be sent with the data bits to detect some transmission errors.
Even
Parity bit is 0 if the number of 1’s in the data bits is even.
Odd
Parity bit is 0 if number of 1’s in the data bits is odd.
Stop Bits
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
Flow control can prevent data loss from buffer overflow. When sending data
and the receiving buffers are full, a “stop” signal can be sent to stop the
data flow.
VT-UTF8 Combo Key Support
Enables or disables VT-UTF8 combination key support for ANSI/VT100
terminals.
Recorder Mode
When this field is enabled, only text will be sent. This is to capture the
terminal data.
Resolution 100x31
Enables or disables extended terminal resolution.
Legacy OS Redirection
Selects the number of rows and columns that support redirection.
Putty KeyPad
Selects the Putty keyboard emulation type.
Redirection After BIOS
The settings specify if BootLoader is selected, then Legacy console redirection
is disabled before booting to Legacy OS. Default value is Always Enable
which means Legacy Console Redirection is enabled for Legacy OS.
