Serial Communication Only

Please select the type(s) of communication.

Network Communication Only

Both Serial and Network Communication

If you choose both serial and network communication

SmarTerm 320 will use more memory.

Please select the size of the communications buffer.

1024 bytes

2048 bytes

4096 bytes

SmarTerm uses this buffer to store data as it comes in over

8192 bytes

the communication line. A larger buffer yields faster file

transfers, but uses more memory. If you are interested in saving

memory, choose “512 bytes.” This setting should be adequate for

most users. However, if you are more concerned about rapid file

transfers, choose one of the larger numbers.

SmarTerm uses these lines to emulate the “page memory”

feature of the VT320 terminal, which provides backward scrolling.

The more lines you choose, the more memory SmarTerm needs. If

you are interested in saving memory, choose “24.” If you aren’t

concerned about memory, choose one of the larger numbers.
