TFTP Configuration
44 IOLAN Device Server User’s Guide, Version 1.0
For example:
term=AT386 | at386| 386AT |386at |at/386 console
acsc=jYk?lZm@qDtCu4x3
bold=\E[1m
civis=
clear=\E[2J\E[H
cnorm=
cup=\E[%i%p1%02d;%p2%02dH
rev=\E4A
rmacs=\E[10m
rmso=\E[m
smacs=\E[12m
smso=\E[7m
page=
circ=n
Note: As you can see from the example, capabilities which are not defined in the terminfo file must
still be included (albeit with no value). Each entry has an 80 character limit.
On some versions of UNIX, some of the capabilities are appended with a millisecond delay
(of the form $<n>). These are ignored by the Device Server and can be left out.
The ‘acsc’ capability, if defined, contains a list of character pairs. These pairs map the
characters used by the terminal for graphics characters to those of the standard (VT100)
character set.
Include only the following character pairs:
jx, kx, lx, mx, qx, tx, ux and xx
(where x must be substituted by the character used by the terminal). These are the
box-drawing characters used to display the forms and menus of Menu mode. They must be
entered in this order.
The last two capabilities will not be found in the terminfo file. In the page field you must
enter the escape sequence used by the terminal to change screens. The circ field defines
whether the terminal can use previous page and next page control sequences. It must be set
to y or n. These capabilities can be found in the documentation supplied with the terminal.
TFTP Configuration
TFTP configuration consists of specifying the number of times the Device Server’s TFTP client
retries a file transfer and the how long the TPTP process will wait (timeout) before retrying to
transfer a file.
You must have a TFTP server running on any host that you are uploading or downloading files
to/from. If you are using the DeviceManager and transferring a local file to a Device Server, you still
need to have a TFTP server running on your PC. When you specify the file path, the path must be
relative to the default path set in your TFTP server software (do not use drive letters in the file path).
