Options data-bits

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

dial

Determines how a modem will work on the line. If your user is remote and will be dialing in via modem or ISDN TA, set this parameter to In; if the Device Server is being used as a router, set this parameter to either In, Out, or Both, depending on which end of the link your Device Server is situated and how you want to initiate the communication.

idle-timer

Enter a time period, in seconds, for which the idle timer will run. Use this timer to close a connection because of inactivity. When the idle timer expires, the Device Server will end the connection. The maximum value is 4294967 seconds (about 49 days). The default value of 0 (zero) means the idle timer will not expire, so the connection is permanently open.

line-name

Provide a name for the line so it can be easily identified. The Remote Port Buffering logging feature uses the Line Name when creating a file on the remote NFS server.

modem-name

The name of the predefined modem that is used on this line.

pages

For DSLogin line service, this is the number of video pages the terminal supports. Valid values are 1-7. The default is 5 pages.

parity

Specifies if you are using Even, Odd, or No parity on the line. If you want to force a parity type, you can specify Mark for 1or Space for 0.

phone-number

The phone number to use when Dial is set to Out.
