Port
Host serial port used to connect the terminals.

Baud Rate
Transmission speed between host computer and terminals.

Data bits
Number of bits making up the transmitted data.

Parity
Type of control parity.

Sleep
The waiting time (expressed in milliseconds) for communication between one
terminal and the next.
A value of 0 ensures the fastest polling but slows down other programs considerably.
You are therefore advised to insert a Sleep time of several hundredths of a
millisecond.

Timeout
This is the maximum waiting time for a reply from terminals or satellites, expressed in
milliseconds.
The default value is 500 ms. Depending on the specifications of the equipment in
use, this value can be reduced to speed communication.
ATTENTION
When satellites are also being used, the choice of Baud Rate
and Timeout is restricted to the values they can support. These
are stated in the relevant documentation.
