CHAPTER 7: Operation

4. Bit Rate
Valid values are:
75
110
134
150
300
600
1200
2000
2400
4800
7200
9600
14400 19200
AUTO
AUTO enables the LinkUp 5294 to automatically detect the incoming baud rate of the device attached
to its port. This is commonly called Autobaud detection. When AUTO is specified, the LinkUp 5294 is
only able to determine the following bit rates:
19200 9600 4800 2400 1200 300 bps
NOTE
Any value received by a LinkUp 5294 por t configured for AUTO, below
1200 bps, is treated as if it were 300 bps.
5. Number of Bits/Char (Excluding Parity)
Valid values are: 8 or 7.
Asynchronously transmitted data is structured as below, beginning with the start bit:
Start bit Character code bits Parity bit
Stop bit(s)
NOTE
Set this value to match the character structure supported by your terminal, PC, or
printer connected to the port you are configuring.
6. Parity
Valid values are: ODD, EVEN, MARK, SPACE, or NONE.
Parity enables the LinkUp 5294 to perform asynchronous error checking on the communication line
between itself and your attached device. For a true parity check, ODD or EVEN are the recommended
settings. If NONE is defined, no parity error checking will occur.
CAUTION
MARK and SPACE are valid only when 7 is defined for Number of Bits/Char; while ODD
and EVEN can be defined with 7 or 8.
NOTE
Set this value to match the character structure supported by your terminal, PC, or
printer connected to the port you are configuring.
