Telecom
Transmission resumes when the host sends an XON. Telecom sends
an XOFF to pause transmission from the host computer when data
is coming in too fast for the input buffer. Telecom sends an XON
to resume transmission.
The ASCII filter strips out all characters over 80 Hex and control
characters except backspace, horizontal tab, line feed, form feed,
carriage return, and escape.
Turn the Line Feed Filter On to add a Line Feed (0AH) to all car-
riage returns (0DH) received. Turn the option off to accept line feeds
and carriage returns “as
is.”
Use the Echo (Half Duplex) option if the host does not echo the text
you send. If the host echoes the text (full duplex), turn
Off
the Echo.
The Redial option lets you enter the number of Retries you want,
when you are dialing a computer phone number or executing an
automatic logon dialing sequence.
