This
Dialog
Box
lets
you
match the
configuration
of the RS232C
port with the
configuration
of the
modem you
are communicating
with.
Refer
to the
modem
manual
for
specific
information
on which
parameters to
choose. The
major
choices
are
explained
below.
Baud Rate
Baud rate is the
speed at
which
data is
transmitted.
(Baud
is
a
measure of bits
per second.)
The
fastest
rate is
9600 baud; the
slowest
is 300
baud. You
must set
the baud
rate to
accommodate
both modems.
Parity
Whenever computers
send
information
over the
telephone
lines,
there is a
chance that
some of
the
information
may get
garbled,
due
to
imperfections
in the
lines.
Parity is a
method that
com-
puters use to
examine
information and
determine
whether it is
correct.
