Parity

This is the parity of the data. The default is none.

set s<port #> parity <odd even strip none>

Flow Control

This is the type of flow control used by the port. Note that you will also have to configure the modem to use this type of flow control. Use the following command:

set s<port #> <xon/xoff cts/rts> <on off>

XON/XOFF Sets the port to software flow control. ASCII control characters stop and start the flow of data. Not Recommended.

CTS/RTS Sets the port to hardware flow control. The RTS signal is raised or lowered on the RS-232 interface to indicate when it can or cannot receive data. The CTS signal is raised or lowered when it can or cannot send data.

Host Override

If a port is configured for host device use, you may choose to let the hosts override the communications settings of the port using software control. This default host override setting is Off (do not allow overrides). The NETServer may be configured to allow an override of Baud Rate, Parity, Databits, and Flow Control. Use the following command:

set s<port #> override <xon/xoff databits parity baud> <on off>

Modem Control

This sets the port’s carrier detect operations. The default for S0 is off, which tells the NETServer to ignore a carrier detect coming from the modem. The default for the other S-ports is on, which tells the NETServer to pay attention to the carrier detect signal. In practice, modem control should be on for all modem ports that are configured for User Login and/or Network service. Modem control should be off for ports configured for Host Device service, but not User Login or Network service.

set s<port #>modem <on off>
