Line Commands

keepalive

Enables a per-connection TCP keepalive feature; after approximately 3 minutes of network connection idle time, the connection will send a gratuitous ACK to the network peer, either ensuring the connection stays active OR causing a dropped connection condition to be recognised by the reverse raw service.

Applications using this feature need to be aware that there might be some considerable delay between a network disconnection and the port being available for the next connection attempt; this is to allow any data sent on prior connections to be transmitted out of the serial port buffer. Application network retry logic needs to accommodate this feature.

lock

When enabled, the user can lock his terminal with a password using the Hotkey Prefix (default Ctrl-a) ^a l (lowercase L). The Device Server prompts the user for a password and a confirmation.

motd

Enables/disables the message of the day on the line.

user

For DSLogin line service, makes this a line that is dedicated to the specified user. Only this user will be able to log in on this line and they won’t need to enter their login name

-just their password. nouser

Blanks out the User parameter, in case you want to change a dedicated user line to an undedicated line.

reset

Resets the terminal type connected to the line when a user logs out.

stop-bits

Specifies the number of stop bits that follow a byte.

term-type

Specifies the type of terminal connected to the line:

zDumb

zWYSE60

zVT100

zANSI

zTVI925

zIBM3151TE

zVT320 (specifically supporting VT320-7)

zHP700 (specifically supporting HP700/44)

zTerm1, Term2, Term3 (user defined terminals)
