7.2.8.1 Procedure to follow when changing settings
1. Make all the desired changes to this menu by using the cursor to move to the appropriate
check box, then press the space bar to change the selected field.
2. Once all the desired changes have been made, press the <return> key to accept the
changes. The unit will now implement these changes.
3. A message will appear: “Change your terminal to new settings.... Press Escape
to continue”.
4. Referring to the user manual for your terminal – change its communications set-up in the
same way you changed this menu.
5. Press the <Escape> key.
Notes: a) The OM100 tries to change baud rates smoothly. However if the new screen is not
displayed correctly you may have to reset your local terminal.
b) If the characters still appear corrupt then choose a lower baud rate.
Description
Speed at which characters are sent and received from the local terminal.
Higher numbers mean faster speed. If characters are being corrupted try a lower
speed.
Some terminals require 7 bit data if parity is turned on. Most prefer 8 bit data.
Provides a means of checking characters for errors (but does not correct them).
1 stop bit is standard.
Turning this on allows your local terminal to control the rate at which characters are
being sent.
This is useful if your terminal cannot keep up with the rate at which characters are
produced.
Note: if characters are being corrupted, turning on handshaking will not help –
choose a slower baud rate instead.
