CHAPTER 4: Configuration
Speed
Purpose
Determines the data rate (also called “baud rate” or
“transmission speed”) of the chosen port.
Applies To
Serial ports only.
Possible Values
300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, or
38400 bps. Use the up and down arrow keys to toggle
from value to value. The default data rate is 9600
bps.
Usage Notes
Set the data rate of the Multiport Spooler VIII port
to match the data rate of the device to which it is
connected.
NOTE
Most DOS PC serial ports default to a data rate
of 2400 bps unless they are set differently with
the DOS MODE command or the included
SMODE command (refer to
Appendix D
).
Data Bit
Purpose
Determines the number of data bits on the chosen
port.
Applies To
Serial ports only.
Possible Values
7 or 8 (8 is the default).
Usage Notes
Set the data bits of the Multiport Spooler VIII port to
match the data bits of the device to which it is
connected.
If you select 7 data bits, decimal characters 128 to
255 (for example, the “extended ASCII” accented
and graphic characters) can’t be transmitted, and you
can no longer configure the MPS-VIII from this port.
However, 7-bit data with even or odd parity is similar
to 8-bit data with no parity. This can be useful if you
have a graphics package that sends 7-bit data with
even parity. You can set the Multiport Spooler VIII to
8-bit data and no parity, allowing other applications
to use the full 8-bit character set.
