SEPI-serial0/1 Cfg>
2.1. DESCRIPTION
This is a parameter common to any of the device’s interfaces and is used to assign a string of
characters describing the interface functionality. This parameter is optional.
Syntax:
SEPI-serial0/1 Cfg>description "Serial Relay Port"
To eliminate the description:
SEPI-serial0/1 Cfg>no description
2.2. FLOW-CONTROL
This parameter is used to configure the type of flow control for the serial port. By using flow control,
you can guarantee that there is no loss of data when the receiver is slower at reception than in the
transmitter. The types of flow control supported by the interface are as follows:
Syntax:
SEPI-serial0/1 Cfg>flow-control ?
hardware Hardware flow control
xon-xoff Software flow control
all Hardware and software flow control
none No flow control
Configuration example:
SEPI-serial0/1 Cfg>flow-control hardware
2.3. INTERFACE-BUFFER-SIZE
Configures the maximum data length that can be sent in a packet.
Syntax:
SEPI-serial0/1 Cfg>interface-buffer-size length
Length
Admits values between 100 and 2048 bytes.
