the user is using) will exchange data. Both computers should have the same or
compatible settings.
Terminal Type
Conguration options: [VT100] [VT100+] [VT-UTF8] [ANSI]

Parity
A parity bit can be sent with the data bits to detect some transmission errors.
Conguration options: [None] [Even] [Odd] [Mark] [Space]
[None] Disables parity check.
[Even] Parity bit is 0 if the num of 1’s in the data bits is even.
[Odd] Parity bit is 0 if the num of 1’s in the data bits is odd.
[Mark] Parity bit is always 1.
[Space] Parity bit is always 0.
NOTE: Mark and Space Parity do not allow for error detection.
Stop Bits
Stop bits indicate the end of a serial data packet. The standard setting is 1
stop bit. Communication with slow devices may require more than 1 stop bit.
