[VT100+] Extends VT100 to support color, function keys, et.
[VT-UTF8] Uses UTF8 encoding to map Unicode chars onto 1 or more bytes [ANSI] Extended ASCII
char set
Bits per second [57600]
Selects serial port transmission speed. The speed must be matched on the other side. Long or
noisy lines may require lower speeds.
Configuration options: [9600] [19200] [38400] [57600] [115200]
Data Bits [8]
Configuration options: [7] [8]
Parity [None]
A parity bit can be sent with the data bits to detect some transmission errors. [Mark] and [Space] parity do
not allow for error detection.
[Even] parity bit is 0 if the num of l's in the data bits is even
[Odd] parity bit is 0 if num of l's in the data bits is odd
[Mark]
parity bit is always 1
[Space] parity bit is always 0
Stop Bits [1]
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. Configuration options: [1] [2]
Flow Control [None]
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.
Hardware flow control uses two wires to send start/stop signals. Configuration options: [None] [Hardware RTS/CTS]
Recorder Mode [Disabled]
With this mode enabled only text will be sent. This is to capture Terminal data. Configuration options: [Disabled] [Enabled]
Legacy OS Redirction Resolution [80)24]
Configures the number of rows and columns supported on legacy OS. Configuration options: [80x24] [80x25]
COM1
Console Redirection [Enabled]
Enables or disables the console redirection feature. Configuration options: [Disabled] [Enabled]
