Usual setting is NoParity, which is what you have set.
Change the value to Even, Odd, Mark or Space as you require.

#define NOPARITY            0
#define ODDPARITY           1
#define EVENPARITY          2
#define MARKPARITY          3
#define SPACEPARITY         4

Change the N to the proper value.
Not 100% sure about m and s, but probably N, O, E, M, S
