Fields
The Flow Control screen lets you configure the following functionality:
• Driver uses an XON/XOFF protocol (Y/N). This field lets you
turn on or off the XON/XOFF protocol. If XON/XOFF is enabled, you
can specify whether a timer is started when the XOFF is received.
You can also specify the length of the timer period, in seconds. Valid
timer periods range from 1 to 255 seconds.
• Typeahead buffer behavior for sending second XOFF. The
HP 3000 sends an XOFF to the terminal when its typeahead buffer
is full. The value entered in this field specifies how often the
HP 3000 will send an XOFF, after its typeahead buffer is full.
