File Transfer Protocols; Sending A Fax - Toshiba Satellite 4030CDT User Manual

♦ Stop bits indicate the end of a character. This number is usually
one or two.
♦ Parity is an error-checking method and will be set to even, odd,
or none.
These parameters, except for the modem speed, are usually abbre
viated and combined. Common examples are N81 (no parity, eight
data bits and one stop bit) and E72 (even parity, seven data bits and
two stop bits).
You set each of these parameters in your communications pro
gram. Each parameter must be set the same on both computers.
Otherwise, the two devices will not be able to connect.

File transfer protocols

File transfer protocols are standards that govern how computers
transfer files between modems over a telephone line. Protocols
determine what type of error checking and data compression, if
any, occur during transfer.
You don't need to know anything about specific protocols—just
make sure you are using the same protocols as the computer with
which you are communicating. If you would like to know more,
protocols are described in any book on telecommunications.
