The utility restarts the Async Concentrator(s) specified without shutting down the UNIX system. This is especially useful for replacing a defective Async Concentrator with a new Async Concentrator when any port of the original Async Concentrator is mal-functional. In this case, even though the serial numbers are different, "Driver Reset" is not suitable. However, user must make sure that

All MOXA TTY and non-TTY ports on the specified Async Concentrator(s) must not be used by any applications (processes), including getty or tty monitor, which should be stopped before the utility is executed.

Terminal Emulation

This utility provides data sending and receiving ability of all tty ports, including MOXA TTY ports (but not MOXA non-TTY ports). It is quite useful for testing, for example, sending AT command to a modem connected to the port or used as a terminal for login purpose. Note that this is only a dumb terminal emulation without handling full screen operation. In addition, pattern/file transfer function is provided.

Driver Removal

If user wants to remove the MOXA C360 device driver and return to the original system configuration, just press Enter in this function entry and answer "y" to confirm. Then the system will be rebuild. This may take some time. If user answers "n", no action will be taken.

The system services that apply to standard tty port can also be applied to MOXA TTY port since they conforms to UNIX tty standard. For example,
