Ports Table (S-port configuration)

The S-Port table is used to configure the external serial port and
all the internal serial ports (modem ports).

How to . . .

Bring Up the List of Commands

To bring up a list of commands and command options for the
ports, use the following command:

help set s<port #>

Change a Port’s Parameters

To change a port’s parameters, use the following command:

set s<port #> <command> <option>

For example, to set serial port S1’s Modem Control to On:

set s1 modem on

Save Port Configuration

It is important to understand that the NETServer actually stores
port configuration in three different areas:

Default configuration (in RAM memory)

Active configuration (also in RAM)

Permanent configuration (Flash memory)

The NETServer does not actually use the default configuration.
The default configuration is instead simply a work area in
memory that stores all the changes you have made using set
commands.

The active configuration is the port configuration the NETServer
is actually using. It can only be changed by resetting a port,
which copies the default configuration for that port into the
active configuration area.
