Line Commands

duplex

Specify whether the line is Full Duplex (communication both ways at the same time) or

Half Duplex (communication in one direction at a time).

echo-suppression

This parameter applies only to EIA-485 Half Duplex mode. All characters will be echoed to the user and transmitted across the serial ports. Some EIA-485 applications require local echo to be enabled in order to monitor the loopback data to determine that line contention has occurred. If your application cannot handle loopback data, echo suppression should be On. The default is echo suppression Off.

speed

Specifies the baud rate of the line; keep in mind that speed is affected by the length of the cable. You can also specify a custom baud rate; valid values are 50 - 1843200.

Set Line Service

Description Sets the service for the line. For services that need further configuration, see Line Service Commands to find the Line Service that you want to configure.

Options bidir

This service allows the IOLAN to listen for incoming TCP connection and if needed, initiate a TCP connection.

<config_host>

The name of the target host. The host must exist in the IOLAN host table.
