Data Bits [8]
Conguration 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.
[None] No parity bit
[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
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. Conguration options: [1] [2]
Flow Control [Hardware RTS/CTS]
Flow control can prevent data loss from buffer overow. When sending data,
if the receiving buffers are full, a “stop” signal can be sent to stop the data
ow. Once the buffers are empty, a “start” signal can be sent to re-start the
ow. Hardware ow control uses two wires to send start/stop signals.
Conguration options: [None] [Hardware RTS/CTS]
VT-UTF8 Combo Key support [Enabled]
Enable VT-UTF8 Combination Key support for ANSI/VT100 terminals.
Conguration options: [Disabled] [Enabled]
Recorder Mode [Disabled]
With this mode enabled only text will be sent. This is to capture Terminal data.
Conguration options: [Disabled] [Enabled]
Legacy OS Redirection Resolution [80x24]
Congures the number of rows and columns supported on legacy OS.
Conguration options: [80x24] [80x25]
Putty KeyPad [VT100]
Select FunctionKey and KeyPad on Putty.
Conguration options: [VT100] [LINUX] [XTERMR6] [SCO] [ESCN] [VT400]
Redirection After BIOS POST [Always Enable]
The settings specify if BootLoader is selected than Legacy console redirection
is disabled before booting to Legacy OS. Default value is always Enable
which means Legacy console redirection is enabled for Legacy OS.
Conguration options: [Always Enable] [BootLoader]
