Matching the Port and Device Characteristics

Setting

Check Performed Per Character

A cleared parity bit

None (default)

No parity checking performed

 

 

Example: Changing the PARITY Settings

The following example shows how to change the parity:

Local> CHANGE PORT 5 PARITY ODD

SPEED

The SPEED characteristic enables you to configure the port for devices that operate at the following speeds: 75, 110, 134, 150, 300, 600, 1200, 1800, 2000, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, and 115200 bits per second (bits/s).

If you enable autobaud, the access server automatically adjusts the port speed.

Example: Changing the Port SPEED

The following example shows how to change the port speed:

Local> CHANGE PORT 5 SPEED 2400

Example: Configuring Different Input and Output Speeds for a Port

The following example shows how to specify different input and output speeds for a port:

Local> CHANGE PORT 5 INPUT SPEED 2400

Local> CHANGE PORT 5 OUTPUT SPEED 1200

STOP BITS

The STOP BITS characteristic indicates the number of bits that mark the end of a character transmission. By default, the access server dynamically sets up the STOP BITS characteristic. The access server automatically uses 2 stop bits for port speeds up to and including 134 bits/s, and 1 stop bit for port speeds above 134 bits/s.

You can also specify 1 or 2 stop bits for each device.

Example: Setting the STOP BITS for a Device

The following example shows how to set the stop bits for a device:

Local> CHANGE PORT 5 STOP BITS 1
