Parity
Appears when the KYBD Dialing field is y. Select the desired type of parity. The DLC
generates the parities when call setup text is sent to the DTE. The DLC does not check the
parity when receiving dialing characters. Parity has nothing to do with the far end; it is used by
the DLC to terminal communications during call setup. Set to match the connected DTE.

Permit Mismatch
This option allows the EIA interface to operate at a rate different than that agreed to in the data
module handshake. (The data module handshake is always the highest compatible rate as
determined by the reported speed option of each data module.) Permit Mismatch eliminates the
need to change the DTE/DLC speed every time a call is placed to/from an endpoint operating at
a different speed. When this option is enabled, the DLC reports the highest optioned speed and
all the lower speeds (or the previously selected autoadjust speed) during the handshake
process.

CAUTION:
DCE that is transmitting data at higher rates than that of the far end. Sustained
usage of this type transmission results in loss of data. Whenever this option is
enabled, the DTE must match the highest speed selected for the associated DLC
port.
This option is intended to be used by a DTE device operating locally at a higher baud rate than
that of its far-end connection but transmitting relatively low amounts of data (for example, a user
typing at a terminal). Also, this option may be selected whether Keyboard Dialing is selected.
Note:
The Low speed setting is not reported as an available speed when the Permit

Mismatch field is y.
Usage
Set to match the connected DTE.
Usage
Enter y to instruct the DLC to operate at the highest selected
speed, which is a higher rate than the far-end data module.
