flow control, initialization string and if Ailonet answers to incoming calls.
In addition, serial port settings define if a local computer is connected to Ailonet via serial port (
di-
rect cable connection
) or is there a modem connected (
modem

preferred in connecting a computer to Ailonet,

must be enabled. When
using Microsoft Windows operating system in the computer,
Microsoft Windows modem emulation
selection must also be enabled. In this case administrator must create a new direct cable connec-
tion profile in Windows, where connecting interface is the COM port connected to Ailonet.
