TIWAY I Gateway User Manual
The
8-switch bank governs the host interface. The following paragraphs
describe the switch-selectable options for setting the host interface
parameters.

:
For the host
port, T
able 3-3 shows what data transmission rates are supported on the
listed host systems. (Refer to Figure 3-3 for the host baud rate dipswitch
settings.)

Asynchronous/Synchronous
Operation
(Switch 5):
The Synch/Asynch
switch is used for modem operation. In the synchronous mode, transmitter
signal element timing is used to send
transmit
data. The transmitter and
receiver signal timing elements are supplied by the modem. In the
asynchronous position, the modem does not supply receiver or transmitter
timing elements and the Gateway uses internal clocks to determine
receive
data sample points and to send
transmit
data. Y
ou should use the
asynchronous setting.
Full/Half
Duplex Operation
(Switch 6):
the Full/Half Duplex switch
selects operation compatible with full or half duplex modems even though
communication with the Gateway is half duplex only
. When you select
Half-duplex operation, the Gateway does not activate the Request to Send
circuit before Data Carrier Detect becomes inactive. T
iming relationships
between Data Carrier Detect and Request to Send are ignored when full
duplex is selected. When you are using a half-duplex modem, you should use
the Half-duplex setting; with a full-duplex modem, use the Full-duplex
setting.
Parity
Enable/Disable
(Switch 7):
This will either enable or disable parity
in all data transmissions.
Even/Odd Parity (Switch 8):
If Switch 7 (Parity Enable/Disable) is set to
enable parity
, switch 8 selects even or odd parity
.
