Buffering Data Received by a Host Port

The terminal server provides both automatic and manual control of data buffering from the host ports. If automatic buffering is selected, a buffer file for the specified port will be opened and data collected until either a specified time or file size is reached. The current buffer file is then closed and renamed using the format described in "Buffer File Naming Conventions". A new buffer file is opened immediately.

Buffer switching occurs seamlessly, so that no data is lost during the transition between files.

Automatic Buffering

When automatic buffering is enabled for a particular port, data is collected in a buffer file for a preset length of time or until the file reaches a specified size. To enable automatic buffering, enter the SH (Set Host) command. ..

NOTE: To disable automatic buffering, use the CLBUF (close buffer) command.
