Terminal Type [VT-UTF8]
Allows you to set the terminal type.
[VT100] ASCIIcharset.
[VT100+] ExtendsVT100tosupportcolor,functionkeys,etc.
[VT-UTF8] UsesUTF8encodingtomapUnicodecharsonto1ormorebytes.
[ANSI] ExtendedASCIIcharset.
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.
Congurationoptions:[9600][19200][38400][57600][115200]
Data Bits [8]
Conguration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] None
[Even] paritybitis0ifthenumof1’sinthedatabitsiseven
[Odd] paritybitis0ifnumof1’sinthedatabitsisodd
[Mark] paritybitisalways1
[Space] paritybitisalways0
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.
Congurationoptions:[1][2]
Flow Control [Hardware RTS/CTS]
Flowcontrolcanpreventdatalossfrombufferoverow.Whensendingdata,ifthe
receivingbuffersarefull,a“stop”signalcanbesenttostopthedataow.Oncethe
buffersareempty,a“start”signalcanbesenttore-starttheow.Hardwareow
control uses two wires to send start/stop signals.
Congurationoptions:[None][HardwareRTS/CTS]
VT -UTF8 Combo Key Support [Enabled]
This allows you to enable the VT -UTF8 Combination Key Support for ANSI/VT100
terminals.
Congurationoptions:[Disabled][Enabled]
Recorder Mode [Disabled]
Withthismodeenabledonlytextwillbesent.ThisistocaptureTerminaldata.
Congurationoptions:[Disabled][Enabled]
Resolution 100x31 [Disabled]
This allows you to enable or disable extended terminal resolution.
Congurationoptions:[Disabled][Enabled]
Putty Keypad [VT100]
This allows you to select the FunctionKey and Keypad on Putty.
