Link Configuration: AI232 Link Types

AI232 Link Types

AI232 has 3 configurable link types:

zAsynchronous

zAsynchronous PPP

zModem Multiplexer

Asynchronous

Asynchronous links use asynchronous transmission and support multiple baud rates, parity types, stop bits, and software flow or hardware control.

zConnect Options Configuration

zDisconnect Options Configuration

zGeneral Link Properties Configuration

zModem Option Configuration

zRTS/DTR Lead Control Configuration

Asynchronous PPP

Asynchronous PPP links use PPP (point-to-point protocol) and asynchronous transmission. They support PAP and CHAP for authentication and can be set as bridged (BCP) or routed (IPCP) interfaces.
