the ouput are as below

when press enter

1 st output Available port name.
2nd out when press enter bound rate 9600.
3rd out when press enter Available parity.parity.
4th Data bite 8.
4th out when press enter Available stop bite.
5th out when press enter Available Handshake.
6th Name
7th Quit to exit
