Speed
This parameter determines the bit rate of the port.
Data Bits
This parameter determines the number of bits for the data going through this port.
Parity
This parameter determines the type of parity checking used on the data going
through the port. The options are Odd, Even and None.
Stop Bits
This parameter specifies the number of stop bits – 1 or 2 – used for asynchronous
communication.
Flow Control
This parameter selects the type of flow control used in your terminal. The 7035 can
perform
XON/XOFF and/or CTS/RTS handshaking. Keep in mind that CTS/RTS
hardware flow control generally results in faster data throughput.
Note: Flow Control under ‘Serial 1’ contains the following options:
None,
CTS/RTS, XON/XOFF and Both. Options available under ‘Console 2’
include:
None and XON/XOFF.
The function of each mode is as follows:
Enable: Used to input and output data.
Supports XON/XOFF and/or CTS/RTS or no handshaking.
Print: Used to output data only. All input characters except XON and
XOFF are ignored.
Supports XON/XOFF and/or CTS/RTS or no handshaking.
Output: Used to output data only. All input characters are ignored.
Supports CTS/RTS or no handshaking.
Note: To enable the input and/or output, ‘serial in’ and/or ‘serial out’ must be
enabled in the TESS menu.
