International Character Setting


There are  three character sets in this page dialog. You may need to do some experiment to figure them out. You may have to try different choices for Primary Set or Secondary Set. 

Most hosts only use Primary Set so you don't have to choose the Secondary Set. And the NRC set should normally be disabled, unless you are using some kind of application following the DEC NRC specification.

Host Uses Double Byte Charset Enable this option when your host uses double byte charset like Chinese or Japanese. Most likely you should select "ISO Latin-1" as your Primary Character Set to ensure correct decoding of the double byte characters. Also you should use 7-bit control characters (in Terminal page).
Force Incoming Data to 7-bit Enable this option when your host sometimes send 7-bit ASCII code with the most significent bit set to 1.

If you need a specific character set which is not supported by KoalaTerm now and have complete code table or reference information for it, we would like to add additional character set support if possible. Please write to support@midasoft.com for details.
