Bits per second [57600]
Selects serial port transmission speed. The speed must be matched on the other side.
Long or noisy lines may require lower speeds.
Configuration options: [9600] [19200] [38400] [57600] [115200]
Data Bits [8]
Configuration 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]
[Even]
[Odd]
[Mark]
[Space]
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.
Configuration options: [1] [2]
Flow Control [Hardware RTS/CTS]
Flow control can prevent data loss from buffer overflow. When sending data, if the
receiving buffers are full, a "stop" signal can be sent to stop the data flow. Once the
buffers are empty, a "start" signal can be sent to re-start the flow. Hardware flow control
uses two wires to send start/stop signals.
Configuration options: [None] [Hardware RTS/CTS]
VT-UTF8 Combo Key Support [Enabled]
Allows you to enable the VT-UTF8 Combo Key Support for ANSI/VT100 terminals.
Configuration options: [Disabled] [Enabled]
Recorder Mode [Disabled]
With this mode enabled only text will be sent. This is to capture Terminal data.
Configuration options: [Disabled] [Enabled]
Legacy OS Redirection Resolution [80x24]
Allows you to set the number of rows and columns supported on the Legacy OS.
Configuration options: [80x24] [80x25]
Putty Keypad [VT100]
Allows you to select the FunctionKey and Keypad on Putty.
Configuration options: [VT100] [LINUX] [XTERMR6] [SCO] [ESCN] [VT400]
Redirection After BIOS POST [Always Enable]
Allows you to specify if Bootloader is selected than Legacy console redirection.
Configuration options: [Always Enable] [Bootloader]
4-24
None.
parity bit is 0 if the num of 1's in the data bits is even.
parity bit is 0 if num of 1's in the data bits is odd.
parity bit is always 1.
parity bit is always 0.
