10-48 Command Reference

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>
