Select one of the 12 national replacement character sets built into Reflection. National replacement sets are used in 7-bit operating environments, when characters from the supplemental character sets cannot be accessed by 8-bit codes. Each national replacement set replaces certain characters from the ASCII set with accented characters and symbols for a specific national language.
Use NRC (7-bit) Set In an 8-bit operating environment, you can enable a national replacement set with this option.

Auto answerback Select to cause the answerback message to be sent to the host automatically after a communications line connection. You may transmit the answerback message at any time by pressing Alt+F7 (this method of sending the message replaces the VT320 keystroke Ctrl+Break).

Custom DA response Select to enter a custom Device Attributes (DA) response and then type a sequence for the response in the field below. The terminal sends this string in response to a primary device attributes request.
