Configuring an Asynchronous Port 5-5
General Asynchronous Port Settings
Setting the Dial GroupYou can create modem pools for dial-out connections by associating ports and dial-out
locations with dial groups. Dial groups can be used to reserve ports for dial-out to
specific locations, or to differentiate among different types of modems that are
compatible with the remote location. Dial groups are numbered 0 to 99. The default dial
group is 0.
To assign a port to a dial group, use the following command:
Command> set S0 group Group
Displaying Extended Port InformationThe PortMaster can display port information in brief or extended modes. The default
setting is off.
To enable or disable extended information for a port, use the following command:
Command> set S0 extended on|off
Note – This command only affects the display of port information. It does not affect port
behavior.
Setting the Login PromptYou can set a custom login prompt for each port using any valid ASCII characte rs. The
default login prompt is $hostname login:. For example, on a host named marketing, the
login prompt is marketing login:. Double quotation marks and control characters must
not be used inside the login prompt.
To set a login prompt for a port, use the following command:
Command> set S0 prompt String
For example:
Command> set s1 prompt marketing
