Configuration Parameters
prompt
This asynchronous port parameter defines a port-specific prompt string. The prompt string consists
of displayable characters and embedded formatting codes. Each formatting code, which consists of
a percent character (%) followed by a single character, is compressed and stored as a single character
in nonvolatile memory. The maximum number of characters stored for the prompt string is 16.
Because each formatting code consists of two characters, the maximum string size is 32 characters.
String sizes smaller than 32 characters are rejected as bad values if they cannot be stored into 16
characters in nonvolatile memory after the formatting codes are compressed into single characters.
Table C2-5 on page C2-17 lists and describes these codes. The Model 5390 server cli_prompt
parameter defines the default prompt.
ps_history_buffer
This asynchronous port parameter is used with the telnet command to indicate how much incoming
data to buffer on a slave port. Incoming data is buffered continuously before, during, and after the
Telnet session; no data buffering occurs during LAT access to the port. The port must be reset after
setting or changing this value. Values range from 0 to 32767. The default is 0 (disabled).
redisplay_line
This asynchronous port parameter defines the reprint line character for CLI users. The allowable
value is a control character sequence. The default is
CTRL-R (^R)
.
remote_address
This asynchronous port parameter defines the IP address for a host at the other end of the
asynchronous line. This parameter works only when the mode parameter is set to slip or ppp. The
default is 0.0.0.0.
reset_idle_time_on
This asynchronous port parameter defines whether input or output resets the idle timer. The idle
time is the time lapse between activity and inactivity at the device. This parameter is used with the
who command. Valid options are input and output. The default is input.
