The
PARITY
parameter controls whether or not a parity bit , in addition to the data
bits, is checked on incoming characters and appended on outgoing characters.
If you do not want the multiplexer to be sensitive to parity, the
NONE/ODD,
NONE/EVEN, NONE/MARK
or
NONE/SPACE
option should be chosen. The
NONE portion of the selection disables parity checking/insertion. The
ODD,
EVEN, MARK
or
SPACE
portion of the selections refers to the parity setting of the
3028
Turbo (CTS 2031 Turbo)
generated messages such as Menus,
LINK DOWN
or
DATA LOSS
. The
MESSAGES ENABLED
parameter must be set to
YES
before
messages are sent to the attached device.
When the
ODD
or
EVEN
option is selected and a parity error is detected, parity is
stripped and the character is sent as received to the remote end. A parity error
count is maintained in the channel statistics under
CHANNEL EXCEPTIONS
.
Appendix D provides more information on parity.
