Serial Port Console Redirection
COM1 Console Redirection
Select Enabled to enable console redirection support for a serial port specified by the user.
The options are Enabled and
Disabled
.
*If the item above set to Enabled, the following items will become available for user's
configuration:
COM1 Console Redirection Settings
This feature allows the user to specify how the host computer will exchange data with the
client computer, which is the remote computer used by the user.
COM1 Terminal Type
This feature allows the user to select the target terminal emulation type for Console
Redirection. Select VT100 to use the ASCII Character set. Select VT100+ to add color and
function key support. Select ANSI to use the Extended ASCII Character Set. Select VT-UTF8
to use UTF8 encoding to map Unicode characters into one or more bytes. The options are
VT100,
VT100+
, VT-UTF8, and ANSI.
COM1 Bits Per second
Use this feature to set the transmission speed for a serial port used in Console Redirection.
Make sure that the same speed is used in the host computer and the client computer. A lower
transmission speed may be required for long and busy lines. The options are 9600, 19200,
38400, 57600 and
115200
(bits per second).
COM1 Data Bits
Use this feature to set the data transmission size for Console Redirection. The options are
7 Bits and
8 Bits
.
COM1 Parity
A parity bit can be sent along with regular data bits to detect data transmission errors. Select
Even if the parity bit is set to 0, and the number of 1's in data bits is even. Select Odd if the
parity bit is set to 0, and the number of 1's in data bits is odd. Select None if you do not want
to send a parity bit with your data bits in transmission. Select Mark to add a mark as a parity
bit to be sent along with the data bits. Select Space to add a Space as a parity bit to be sent
with your data bits. The options are
None
, Even, Odd, Mark, and Space.
COM1 Stop Bits
A stop bit indicates the end of a serial data packet. Select 1 Stop Bit for standard serial data
communication. Select 2 Stop Bits if slower devices are used. The options are
1
and 2.
COM1 Flow Control
Use this feature to set the flow control for Console Redirection to prevent data loss caused
by buffer overflow. Send a "Stop" signal to stop sending data when the receiving buffer is full.
Send a "Start" signal to start sending data when the receiving buffer is empty. The options
are
None
and Hardware RTS/CTS.
COM1 VT-UTF8 Combo Key Support
Select Enabled to enable VT-UTF8 Combination Key support for ANSI/VT100 terminals. The
options are Disabled and
Enabled.
