Datacomm Setup

The Datacomm Setup window allows you to determine how CTCBridge T27 will react to the datacommunication instructions that your host sends to your terminal and how you would like information sent to the host. When properly set, these options will ensure a safe and uniform exchange of data and simplify keystrokes.
