•bps is the line speed
•characters is the character size
•parity is the parity scheme to use on this line

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).

About Computer Connections
Configuring computer connections is very similar to configuring terminal connections, which is discussed on page
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
•Specify dev=min if you have a
•Specify dev=term if you do not have a
Consider defining the serial connection as a PPP link. See "Configuring PPP" on page
Command Line Example
In this example, ports 1-2 are set up for a BBS host.
