About Computer Connections

•bps is the line speed

•characters is the character size

•parity is the parity scheme to use on this line

•num-bitsis the number of stop bits to use

3.If your terminal uses hardware flow control, supply a set flow command that specifies the fol- lowing (software flow control is the default, so a set flow command is not required in that case):

set flow range=range ixoff=off ixon=off cts=on rts=on where range is a port or range of ports

Note: You may need to use additional set flow command fields, depending on the flow con-

trol scheme required by your terminal. See the set flow command in the Digi One/PortServer TS Command Reference for more information.

Example

In this example, port 1 and 2 are configured for connection to terminals using hardware flow control. The connection uses default for character size (8 bits), parity (no parity), and stop bits (1).

set ports range=1-2 sess=3 dev=term termtype=wy60

set line range=1-2 baud=19200

set flow range=1-2 ixon=off ixoff=off rts=on cts=on

Configuring computer connections is very similar to configuring terminal connections, which is discussed on page 6-2.Consequently, this section simply discusses the differences between these connection types.

Starting Point

This section assumes that

•You are logged in as root

•You know the attributes, such as baud rate and parity, of the PC that will be connected to this port

Configuring Typical PC Connections

To configure a port for a directly-connected PC, where the PC always initiates the connection, configure the connection as you would a terminal connection, except on the set ports command do the following:

•Specify dev=min if you have a 10-pin null modem cable to support this type of connection.

•Specify dev=term if you do not have a 10-pin null modem cable

Consider defining the serial connection as a PPP link. See "Configuring PPP" on page 8-1for more information.

Command Line Example

In this example, ports 1-2 are set up for a BBS host.

set ports range=1-2 dev=prn group=70 set line range=1-2 baud=19200

set flow range=1-2 ixon=off ixoff=of f rts=on cts=on set altip group=70 ip=199.179.23.10
