SHOWLIST PORT

Flow Control

The method that the serial interface uses to regulate the flow of data between this port

 

and the serial device that is connected to it, such as your terminal. The flow control

 

method that appears in this field may be one of the following:

 

Method

Means

 

CTS

The port emulates RTS/CTS flow control with the DCD and DTR

 

 

modem control signals. These signals control data transfer between the

 

 

port and the serial device connected to it.

 

DSR

The port emulates DTR/DSR flow control with the DCD and DSR

 

 

modem control signals. These signals control data transfer between the

 

 

port and the serial device connected to it.

 

XON

The port uses XONOFF flow control to control data transfer between

 

 

the port and the serial device connected to it.

 

Disabled

The port does not use any flow control method.

Parity

The method that the terminal server and the terminal use to check for single-bit errors

 

in characters that they send back and forth. This type of error checking is called parity

 

checking because the terminal provides an extra bit, called a parity bit, to check the

 

characters. This field displays the type of parity checking, if this checking exists:

 

Parity

Means

 

Even

The port and the terminal ensure that each character contains an even

 

 

number of 1's, including the parity bit.

 

Odd

The port and the terminal ensure that each character contains an odd

 

 

number of 1's, including the parity bit.

 

None

The port and the device do not check characters for parity.

Input Speed

The rate that the terminal transmits data and the terminal server port processes that data.

 

This rate, in bits-per-second, can be any of these: 50, 75, 110, 134, 150, 300, 600,

 

1200, 1800, 2000, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400.

Output Speed

The rate that the terminal server port transmits data and the terminal processes the data.

 

This rate, in bits-per-second, can be any of these: 50, 75, 110, 134, 150, 300, 600,

 

1200, 1800, 2000, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400.

Modem Control

Whether or not your terminal can use modem control signals during data

 

communications. Modem control can be Enabled or Disabled.

Access

The type of connections the terminal server allows at this port.

Backward Switch

 

 

Shows the character that causes the terminal server to exit from the current session and connect to the next lower-numbered session, or None if this is undefined. Control characters are displayed as ^n (e.g., <Ctrl>/<B> is shown as ^B).

Break

Shows which action the port will take when the user presses the <Break> key. The possible values which will be shown are:

A ction Means

Disabled

Indicates that the terminal server does nothing when the user presses the
