Description
VT-UTF8: Uses UTF8 encoding to map Unicode
ANSI: Extended ASCII char set.
Bits per second
[9600], [19200],
[38400], [57600],
[115200]
Select serial port transmission speed. The speed must be
matched on the other side. Long or noisy lines may require
lower speeds.
Data Bits
[7], [8]
Select data bits.
Parity
[None], [Even], [Odd],
[Mark], [Space]
A parity bit can be sent with the data bits to detect some
transmission errors.
Even: parity bit is 0 if the num of 1's in the data bits is even.
Odd: parity bit is 0 if the num of 1's in the data bits is odd.
Mark: parity bit is always 1.
Space: parity bit is always 0.
Stop Bits
[1], [2]
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. The options are 1 and 2 stop bits.
Flow Control
[None], [Hardware
RTS/CTS]
Flow control can prevent data loss from buffer overflow. When
sending data, if the receiving buffers are full, a 'stop' signal can
be sent to stop the data flow. Once the buffers are empty, a
'start' signal can be sent to re-start the flow. Software flow
control uses start/stop ASCII chars, which slows down the data
flow and can be problematic if binary data is being sent.
The flow control options are:
•
None
•
Hardware CTS/RTS: HW flow control uses two wires to send
start/stop signals.
VT-UTF8 Combo Key
Support
[Disabled], [Enabled]
Select whether to enable or disable VT-UTF8 Combination Key
Support for ANSI/VT100 terminals.
Recorder Mode
[Disabled], [Enabled]
With this mode enabled, only text will be sent. This is to capture
terminal data.
Resolution 100x31
[Disabled], [Enabled]
Select whether to enable or disable extended terminal
resolution.
Putty KeyPad
[VT100], [LINUX],
[XTERMR6], [SCO],
[ESCN], [VT400]
Select FunctionKey and KeyPad on Putty.
