IOLAN DS1/TS2 CLI Reference Guide, Version 4.1

Options

break

Specifies how a break is interpreted:

z

off—The IOLAN ignores the break key completely and it is not passed through to
the host. This is the default setting.

z

local—The IOLAN deals with the break locally. If the user is in a session, the

break key has the same effect as a hot key.

z

remote—When the break key is pressed, the IOLAN translates this into a telnet

break signal which it sends to the host machine.

z

break-interrupt—On some systems such as SunOS, XENIX, and AIX, a break
received from the peripheral is not passed to the client properly. If the client wishes

to make the break act like an interrupt key (for example, when the stty options

-ignbrk

and

brkintr

are set).

break-length
The length of time (in milliseconds) for which the break signal will be asserted on the se-
rial port. Valid values are 0-65535.
Default is 1000 ms
A value of 0 will cause the "request to send a break signal" to be ignored.

break-delay
The length of time (in milliseconds) to delay after a break signal is sent before the IOLAN
sends data. Valid values are 0-65535.
Default: 0 ms ( no delay )

connection-method

Determines how a modem will work on the line. Select from the following options:

z

Direct Connect—Indicates that there is not a modem on the line. This is the

default.

z

Dial In—Specify this option when a user is remote and will be dialing in via
modem or ISDN TA.

z

Dial Out—Specify this option when a modem is attached to the serial port and is

being used to dial out.

z

Dial In/Out—Specify this option when the IOLAN is being used as a router

(depending on which end of the link your IOLAN is situated and how you want to
initiate the communication).
