2211 does not support 7 data bits, No parity, 1 stop bit configuration. In this case, the 2211 will operate as 7 data bits, No parity, 2 stop bit mode. In case the 2211 is configured as 8 data bits, Even(or Odd) parity, 2 stop bits mode, the 2211 will operate as 8 data bits, Even (or Odd) parity, 1 stop bit mode. - Page 52 Open/close TCP connection is valid only if the host mode is a TCP client or equivalent. If the DSR behavior is set to open/close TCP connection, the high state of the DSR pin will make the 2211 send a connection request to the specified destination host, whereas the low state close a connection.
