Terminal Setup Help
This module allows you to setup the default terminal options.
Simply move the 'X' to the desired selection and proceed to the next
field. As you move from field to field you will notice the messages
at the bottom of the screen will change. These are quick help
messages.
Keyboard interaction
--------------------
TAB/Shift-TAB : Moves you from one option to another option.
Enter : Moves you from one option to another option.
Up/Dn Cursor Keys : This will move the 'X' placed next to the
selected item in this field.
Escape/Alt - C : Aborts and Exits this Module
Alt - O : Saves all changes and exits this module.
Alt - H : Provides help for this module

└────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
1 - Baud
Baud rate is commonly used to mean bit rate, the number of bits
transferred per second. In actuality, this is incorrect. Baud
rate actually means the number of events per second that occur
in a communications line. Since an event can contain info on
more than one bit, such as with high speed modems, the baud rate
could be quite different than the bit rate.
At the serial port itself this analogy is quite correct.
2 - Data Bits
A byte of data can contain 5,6,7, or 8 bits. Most applications use
7 or 8 bits.
3 - Parity
Parity describes a bit checking scheme. When used, all of the bits
are added together and a final bit, called the parity bit, is added
such as the sum of all the bits is odd or even. The transmitter
calculates and sends the parity bit, whereas the receiver calculates
and compares the result against the parity bit sent. If the bit
is equal then transmission was successful.
4 - Stop Bits
Stop bits simply follow the data bits in a serial stream.
5 - Comports
Comports are simply the serial port # that has been assigned to your
modem.
6 - Buffer Size
The buffer size is the amount of memory you wish to allocate for
holding data as the system processes it. This definition will increase
or decrease the effiency of you system.
7 - Terminal Type
Terminal type is the type of Terminal Emulation you desire. Refer to
section 9.0
8 - Status
This option simply states whether you want the status bar at the
bottom of the screen.
9 - Echo
This option defines whether you want the local characters you type
to be displayed on the screen or not. It can also affect the way
data is displayed from the host system depending on the way the host
is setup.
10 - XON/XOFF
This turns on or off software flow control activated. Refer
to section 11.0
11 - CTS/RTS
This turns on or off this type of hardware flow control. Refer
to section 11.0
12 - FIFO LVL
This selects the level at which you want your FIFO chip to operate.
Refer to section 11.0
13 - DSR/DTR
This turns on or off this type of hardware flow control. Refer
to section 11.0
14 - Auto Z
This turns on or off the automatic ZModem receive functionailty of
ClickComm. If it is turned on, when the host sends data using Zmodem,
ClickComm will automatically start the ZModem protocol to receive the
data.
