Line Commands

Options break

Specifies how a break is interpreted:

zoff—The IOLAN ignores the break key completely and it is not passed through to the host. This is the default setting.

zlocal—The IOLAN deals with the break locally. If the user is in a session, the break key has the same effect as a hot key.

zremote—When the break key is pressed, the IOLAN translates this into a telnet break signal which it sends to the host machine.

zbreak-interrupt—On some systems such as SunOS, XENIX, and AIX, a break received from the peripheral is not passed to the client properly. If the client wishes to make the break act like an interrupt key (for example, when the stty options

-ignbrk and brkintr are set).

break-length

The length of time (in milliseconds) for which the break signal will be asserted on the se- rial port. Valid values are 0-65535.

Default is 1000 ms

A value of 0 will cause the "request to send a break signal" to be ignored.

break-delay

The length of time (in milliseconds) to delay after a break signal is sent before the IOLAN sends data. Valid values are 0-65535.

Default: 0 ms ( no delay )

connection-method

Determines how a modem will work on the line. Select from the following options:

zDirect Connect—Indicates that there is not a modem on the line. This is the default.

zDial In—Specify this option when a user is remote and will be dialing in via modem or ISDN TA.

zDial Out—Specify this option when a modem is attached to the serial port and is being used to dial out.

zDial In/Out—Specify this option when the IOLAN is being used as a router (depending on which end of the link your IOLAN is situated and how you want to initiate the communication).

data-bits

Specifies the number of bits in a byte. The default is 8.

dial-timeout

The number of seconds the IOLAN will wait to establish a connection to a remote modem. The default value is 45 seconds.

dial-retries

The number of times the IOLAN will attempt to establish a connection with a remote modem. The default value is 2.

flowin

Determines if input flow control is to be used. Default is On. This is active only when Line Flow Control is set to Soft, Hard, or Both.

flowout

Determines if output flow control is to be used. Default is On. This is active only when Line Flow Control is set to Soft, Hard, or Both.
