Configuring Basic Device Characteristics
The AUTOBAUD characteristic functions only if the input and output speeds of
the port device are the same and the character size and parity settings have the
combinations listed in the following table:
Example: Disabling AUTOBAUD
The following example shows how to disable the autobaud characteristic:
Local> CHANGE PORT 5 AUTOBAUD DISABLED
CHARACTER SIZE
The CHARACTER SIZE characteristic indicates the number of bits in a data
character. The access server supports character sizes of 7 or 8 bits, and the default
is 8 bits.
Refer to the operator’s guide for the port device to determine appropriate
character size.
If you enable autobaud, the access server automatically adjusts the character size.
Example: Setting the CHARACTER SIZE
The following example shows how to set the character size:
Local> CHANGE PORT 5 CHARACTER SIZE 7
PARITY
The PARITY characteristic determines the type of parity checks that the access
server performs. If you enable autobaud, the access server automatically adjusts
the parity.
