Line Commands
72 IOLAN SDS/SCS/STS/MDC CLI Reference Guide, Version 3.7
Set Line Interface
The SCS, STS, and MDC IOLAN models support the EIA-232 interface only. Therefore, you do not
need to specify interface eia-232 in the command syntax; you only need to specify the
command options (e.g., monitor-dcd).
Description Configures line interface (hardware) parameters.

Options eia-232 | eia-422 | eia-485-half-duplex|eia-485-full-duplex
Specifies the type of serial line that is being used with the IOLAN. Specify either
EIA-232, EIA-422, EIA-485-half-duplex, or EIA-485-full-duplex. The STS, SCS, and
MDC models support only EIA-232.
monitor-dcd
Specifies whether the RS-232 signal DCD (Data Carrier Detect) should be monitored.
This is used with modems or any other device that sends a DCD signal. When it is
monitored and the IOLAN detects a DCD signal, the line service is started. Default is
Off. If both Monitor DCD and Monitor DSR are enabled, both signals must be detected
before the line service is started.
monitor-dsr
Specifies whether the RS-232 signal DSR (data set ready) should be monitored. This is
used with modems or any device that sends a DSR signal. When it is monitored and the
IOLAN detects a DSR signal, the line service is started. Default is Off. The Monitor
DSR parameter is not available for medical unit models. If both Monitor DCD and
Monitor DSR are enabled, both signals must be detected before the line service is
started.
flow
Defines whether the data flow is handled by the software (Soft), hardware (Hard),
Both, or None. If you are using SLIP, set to Hard only. If you are using PPP, set to
either Soft or Hard (Hard is recommended). If you select Soft with PPP, you must set
the ACCM parameter when you configure PPP for the Line.
