• Baud rate (see Note)
• Bits per word
• Parity
• Stop bits (see Note)
• Flow control
NOTE: These communications settings
must match the communication
settings of the attached
terminal.
NOTE: For baud rates 57600 and 115200, “1 stop bit” operation is required.
Also, the serial ports will not accept data input, so XON/XOFF flow control
will not operate.
TDD channels
This screen within the View Setup topic shows the assigned TDM channels to each
TDD output path in the receiver. This identifies which head-end feed is delivered to
each port.
Figure 4-7. Display Based on TDM Channel Assignment
A variation of this screen occurs when TDM allocations are based on product, rather
than TDM channel assignments.
