values for the following settings:
3 If you need to specify other settings for the test, press Cancel to return to

You have finished specifying the async settings.
Specifying flow control
settings
Determine whether the device you will connect the E1/Datacom Tester to uses
flow control. If so, you can configure the E1/Datacom Tester for out-of-band
flow control. If you are testing in asynchronous mode, you can also use in-band
flow control. When you enable out-of-band flow control, you can specify
whether data is transmitted based on specific signal lead conditions.
To specify flow control settings
1 If you haven’t already done so, launch the Data Communication applica-
tion (see “Launching the datacom application” on page 52).
2 On the Configuration menu, select Flow Ctrl Settings, and then specify
values for the following settings:
Setting Parameter
Parity –None
– Even
–Odd
Note: Selecting Odd or Even adds one bit to each charac-
ter to accommodate the parity bit. For example, 7 data bits
with even parity encoding generates 8 bit characters.
Data Bits – Data 5 for baudot encoding
– Data 6 for BCDIC encoding
– Data 7 for ASCII encoding
– Data 8 for EBCDIC encoding
Stop Bits –1
–1.5
–2
Setting Parameter
Oob Flow Control Select On to set out-of-band flow control; Off uses
in-band flow control.
DTR Out-of-band flow control based on the Data Terminal
Ready (DTR) signal.
DSR Out-of-band flow control based on the Data Signal
Ready (DSR) signal.
RTS/C Out-of-band flow control based on the Request To
Send (RTS) signal.
CTS/I Out-of-band flow control based on the Clear To Send
(CTS) signal.
RLSD Out-of-band flow control based on the Receiver Line
Signal Detect (DCD) signal.
