Line Commands

client-initiated

When this option is turned on, the IOLAN will wait for a connection from the TruePort host (see the TruePort documentation for information on how to set up this feature on the TruePort host). When this option is turned off, the IOLAN will initiate the connection to the TruePort host. The default is off.

signal-active

This option has the following impact based on the state of the TruePort connection:

zTruePort Lite Mode—When enabled, the EIA-232 signals remain active before, during, and after the TruePort connection is established. When disabled, the EIA-232 signals remain inactive when there is no TruePort connection and active when there is a TruePort connection.

zTruePort Full Mode—When enabled, the EIA-232 signals remain active before and after the TruePort connection and the TruePort client will control the state of the signals during the established TruePort connection. When disabled, the EIA-232 signals remain inactive before and after the TruePort connection and the TruePort client will control the state of the signals during the established TruePort connection.

Default: Enabled multihost

Used for connections coming from the network to the serial port for TruePort or Raw services, allows multiple hosts to connect to the serial device.

multihost allbackup <config_backup_host> <tcp_port>none

Used for connections going from the serial port to the network for TruePort or Silent Raw services, allows the serial device to communicate to either all the hosts in the multihost list or a primary/backup host schema (see Configuring Multiple Hosts in the IOLAN User’s Guide for a more detailed explanation).
