	The "PARITY" parameter establishes the parity setting to be used for communications. One of three values may be specified: N (no parity checking), E (even parity) or O (odd parity). The default is PARITY=N.		The "PARITY" parameter establishes the parity setting to be used for communications. One of three values may be specified: N (no parity checking), E (even parity) or O (odd parity). The default is PARITY=N. (before BR4.0 only)

	"DATABITS" defines the word length or number of data bits for communications. It must be set to one of two values 7 or 8. The default is DATABITS=8. For binary files (including .BRO and .BR files), you should always use 8 data bits.		"DATABITS" defines the word length or number of data bits for communications.

	The required "file-num" parameter is a numeric expression that must be equal to 255 or between 1 and 127, inclusive.		The required "file-num" parameter is a numeric expression that must be equal to 255 or between 1 and 127, inclusive.

	"NAME = ~~port~~" is a required parameter which specifies the serial communications device. For DOS systems, COM1: and COM2: are automatically supported as communications ports. COM ports 3-8 may be assigned (see the [[COM]] specification in the BRConfig.sys chapter for more information). For Unix / Linux systems, communications ports are file names which usually begin with tty and are located in the /dev directory. These device names must be preceded by a colon, must use forward slashes (/) in the path, must exactly match the uppercase/lowercase pattern in the Unix / Linux directory listing, and should use the full absolute pathname.<br>		"NAME = file-ref" is a required parameter which specifies the serial communications device.

	As with other display files, the "RECL" parameter specifies the maximum number of characters that can be output before EOL characters (see EOL= below) are added to the data stream. "RECL" has no effect on input processing.
