Changing Modem Port Parameters
Use the Change Modem Port Parameters menu to specify the proper configuration for
the modem port.
The modem port is the second RS-232 port on the computer unit rear panel, labeled
B; Chapter 2 describes its rear panel location. When you change modem port
parameters, you change the characteristics of this second serial port. If you do not
have a modem, you can use the modem port for any asynchronous device. Make sure
that characteristic settings on the device you have connected to that port correspond to
the parameters set with this menu.
NOTE: The SCM will not specify parameters for the third asynchronous port (labeled
RS232ĆC) on AViiON 530 or 4600 systems. Set parameters for the C" port
through your operating system as an open user dev/tty terminal node.
