Serial Line Internet Protocol (SLIP)
Configuring SLIP for a Host
•
Set the mode parameter to slip, cli, adaptive, auto_detect, or auto_adapt (see Port Mode on
page A3-5), with the following restrictions.
•
If you are dialing in with a SLIP line, you can only set the mode to slip.
•
If you set the mode to cli mode, adaptive, auto_detect, or auto_adapt, you may have to
press Return at the time you are connected. This puts you in cli mode. You must then
issue the CLI slip command to convert the port to slip mode. The Model 5390 server does
not detect SLIP.
•
Setting the type parameter to hardwired registers the user with the who database according
to the input_is_activity and output_is_activity parameter settings. If neither parameter is
set, any user on this port is invisible to who.
If the input_is_activity parameter is set, when the user enters data, the line is registered with
the who database (generally used for hardwired CLI terminals).
If the output_is_activity parameter is set, the line is registered when the Model 5390 server
first sends data (generally used for hardwired printers or other slave devices). This entry is
removed on a hang-up or when the slave line is released, regardless of the input_is_activity
and output_is_activity parameter settings.
•
Set the speed parameter to the rate required for the SLIP link. Set the remote end to match
this value. You cannot set the speed parameter to autobaud if the mode parameter is set to
slip.
•
To configure the port for EIA flow control, set the control_lines parameter to flow_control
and the input_flow_control and the output_flow_control parameters to eia. Do not set these
parameter to start/stop.
•
Use the supplied defaults for the data_bits (8), stop_bits (1), and parity (none) parameters.
NOTE:
SLIP is an 8-bit protocol. If data_bits is set to 7, and parity is
not set to none, the Model 5390 server forces the data_bits setting to 8
and the parity setting to none. Otherwise, the Model 5390 server gener-
ates an error message for the port.
