3.5.4 - Connecting other Peripherals
The Unix/Linux tty service provides bi-directional control of the device.
Note: only the two serial auxiliary ports are bidirectional. For other ports
(parallel and logical ports) the tty service acts as a unidirectional service.
To set the tty service on the port, enter the following parameters in the
[Configuration]-[Ports]-[xxx]-[yyy] dialog box:
- Service: select tty.
- Parameters: press <Space> to access the following box:
- Server: name of the server selected from a menu (see Chapter 3.1.3).
- TCP Port: numeric identifier of the tty service on the target server.
The TCP Port default value is 2048.
- Auto-Reconnection: if this parameter is set to 'yes', a new
connection is automatically established after a disconnection.
Otherwise, the AX3000 must be power-cycled.
- Enhanced parameters: see Appendix A.10.3.
Note: Axel provides a Unix/Linux utility called axtty by which pseudo-devices
(/dev/ttypx) may be linked to the AX3000 serial ports. The AX3000 ports appear
as local UNIX ‘/dev/xxx’ ports. For more information, see Chapter 5.4.
3.5.5 - Using a Serial Port as the Main Port of a Session
A screen session can be associated with a serial port. This session now
connects as a serial dumb terminal.
Serial and TCP/IP screen sessions can be used at the same time.
For more information see Chapter 5.1.2 (sub-section d).
