Serial Port Console Redirection

Enable or disable the console redirection for COM1.

The default option is Enable.

COM1: The settings specify how the host computer and the remote computer (which the user is using) will exchange data. Both computers should have the same or compatible settings.

Press <Enter> to view console redirection settings. See the submenu.

Press <Enter> to view Legacy Console Redirection Settings. See the submenu.

Enable or disable the Console Redirection for Windows Emergency Management Services (EMS).

The default option is Enable.

ANSI: Extended ASCII char set.

VT100: ASCII char set.

VT100+: Extends VT100 to support color, function keys, etc.

VT-UTF8: Uses UTF8 encoding to map Unicode chars onto 1 or more bytes.

The default option is VT100+.

Select serial port transmission speed. The speed must be matched on the other side. Long or noisy lines may require lower speeds.

The default option is 115200.

Data Bits.

The default option is 8.

Flow control can prevent data loss from buffer overflow. When sending data, if the receiving buffers are full, a 'stop' signal can be sent to stop the data flow. Once the buffers are empty, a 'start' signal can be sent to re-start the flow. Hardware flow control uses two wires to send start/stop signals.

The default option is None.

Stop bits indicate the end of a serial data packet. (A start bit indicates the beginning). The standard setting is 1 stop bit. Communication with slow devices may require more than 1 stop bit.

The default option is 1.

The default option is Disable.

Enable or disable extended terminal resolution.

The default option is Disable.

On Legacy OS, the Number of Rows and Columns supported redirection.

The default option is 80x24.

VT-UTF8 is the preferred terminal type for out-of-band management. The next best choice is VT100+ and then VT100. See above, in Console Redirection Settings page, for more Help with Terminal Type/Emulation
