Number of Stop Bits This setting determines the number of stop bits to be used for asynchronuous

characters. Possible values are :

1 stop bit

2 stop bits

The 2 stop bits option could be required for speciﬁc device, such as a bar code

reader. The setting 1 stop bit is used by default.

Modem Behavior If you have selected a direct connect port, modem behavior is not used and should

be set to None. The default is None.

Please refer to the HP DTC Technical Reference Manual (5961-9820) for simple

modem support.

If you have selected a port on a modem board or port group, select modem behavior

by pressing the Help (F1) function key. A list is displayed. Highlight your choice

and press Return or the Select Item (F4) function key.

The DTC checks device modem signals and sets up its own modem signals. You

may want to enable the automatic connection port option for this port. If enabled,

the DTC will establish a connection to the default destination as soon as it senses

modem signal activity. See “Default Destination (IP Address or Internet Name)” on

page 97. and see “Enable Keep Alive” on page 103.
