The following is an explanation of each field on the screen.
BAUD This field identifies the default baud rate setting for the MultiRouter modem. The available baud
rates are 150, 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800 9600 and 19,200 bps.
DATA BITS This field identifies the number of data bits for each byte transmitted by the MultiRouter
modem. The selections are 5, 6, 7 or 8 data bits.
STOP BITS This field identifies the number of stop bits used by the MultiRouter modem. The selections
are 1 or 2 stop bits.
PARITY This field identifies the parity type active for the MultiRouter modem. The selections are NONE,
ODD and EVEN.
PACKET TIME This field identifies the number of 50 millisecond intervals that elapse prior to sending data
from the client PC to the MultiRouter. The default setting is 2, which equals 100 milliseconds. The
range of values is from 0-20. A setting of 0 causes a packet to be filled with 256 characters prior to
transmitting to the MultiRouter. The screen indicates this until the packet is transmitted. Characters
are not displayed on the screen; the MultiRouter echoes the characters back to the client PC upon
receiving them.

be asked to enter the user’s password.
27. Upon receiving the user’s valid password, you are connected to the client PC configured for the INBOUND
session. This procedure is now complete. Your dial-in session can now continue as described in your
communications software manual.
