Console Redirection Settings
Terminal Type
The optional settings: [VT100]; [VT100+]; [VT-UTF8]; [ANSI].
Emulation:
[ANSI]:
Extended ASCII char set;
[VT100]:
ASCII char set;
[VT100+]:
Extends VT100 to support color, function keys, etc.;
[VT-UTF8]:
Uses UTF8 encoding to map Unicode chars onto 1 or more bytes.
Bits per second
Use this item to select serial port transmission speed. The speed must be
matched on the other side. Long or noisy lines may require lower speeds.
The optional settings: [9600]; [19200]; [38400]; [57600]; [115200].
Data Bits
The optional settings: [7]; [8].
Parity
A parity bit can be sent with the data bits to detect some transmission errors.
The optional settings: [None]; [Even]; [Odd]; [Mark]; [Space].
[Even]:
parity bit is 0 if the
num of 1’s in the data bits is even;
[Odd]:
parity bit is 0 if num of 1’s in the data bits is odd;
[Mark]:
parity bit is always 1;
[Space]:
parity bit is always 0;
[Mark]
and
[Space]
: parity do not allow for error detection.
Stop Bits
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 optional settings: [1]; [2].
Flow Control
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.
