For PASSPORT PC to Host:

  1. Disconnect from your PASSPORT session.
  2. Select Setup from the Communication menu.
  3. Select 8-Bit for Control Code under the Connection tab.

For PASSPORT Web to Host:

From the Administrator:

  1. In the PASSPORT Web to Host Administrator, open the session that you want to change the Control Code for.
  2. On the Connection tab, select 8-Bit for the Control Code.
