Security Gateway Manual Netgate-4200
If portions of the text are unreadable but appear to be properly formatted, the most likely culprit is a character encoding
mismatch in the terminal. Adding the -U parameter to the screen command line arguments forces it to use UTF-8 for
character encoding:
$ sudo screen -U <console-port> 115200
Terminal Settings
The settings to use within the terminal program are:
Speed
115200 baud, the speed of the BIOS
Data bits
8
Parity
None
Stop bits
1
Flow Control
Off or XON/OFF.
Warning: Hardware flow control (RTS/CTS) must be disabled.
Terminal Optimization
Beyond the required settings there are additional options in terminal programs which will help input behavior and
output rendering to ensure the best experience. These settings vary location and support by client, and may not be
available in all clients or terminals.
These are:
Terminal Type
xterm
This setting may be under Terminal, Terminal Emulation, or similar areas.
Color Support
ANSI colors / 256 Color / ANSI with 256 Colors
This setting may be under Terminal Emulation, Window Colors, Text, Advanced Terminfo, or similar
areas.
Character Set / Character Encoding
UTF-8
This setting may be under Terminal Appearance, Window Translation, Advanced International, or
similar areas. In GNU screen this is activated by passing the -U parameter.
Line Drawing
Look for and enable setting such as “Draw lines graphically”, “Use unicode graphics characters”,
and/or “Use Unicode line drawing code points”.
These settings may be under Terminal Appearance, Window Translation, or similar areas.
