Configuring Ports
Port Mode
The Model 5390 port can be opened from a device attached to the port or from the network requesting
attachment to a device. The port mode, specified by the mode parameter, dictates the direction from
which the port can be opened. The port mode options are adaptive, arap, auto_adapt, auto_detect,
cli, connect, dedicated, ipx, ndp, ppp, rlogin, slave, slip, telnet, tn3270, and unused. The
Model 5390 server ignores a port defined as unused.
A port defined as adaptive is used for bidirectional modems. An adaptive port becomes a cli port
when an incoming call is received and a slave port when the port receives a request from the network
to make an outgoing call (see Modems starting on page A6-1 for details on configuring ports for
modems).
A port defined as arap can perform as a network interface using the AppleTalk Remote Access
Protocol (ARAP).
A port defined as auto_detect automatically determines the protocol of an incoming packet and
converts to ipx, ppp, arap, or cli mode accordingly.
A port defined as auto_adapt automatically detects whether packets are incoming or outgoing. For
incoming packets, the port behaves as if it were set to auto_detect mode, then determines the
incoming protocol and converts to the appropriate mode. For outgoing packets, the port operates in
slave mode.
Both cli and dedicated mean that the port is opened from the device. The difference between these
two modes is that cli allows access to the Model 5390 Command Line Interface (which provides
access to multiple hosts). A port defined as dedicated can access only one host via the connection
request command (dedicated_port is set to rlogin or telnet). A terminal or an inbound modem
typically attaches to a port defined as either cli or dedicated.
A port defined as connect communicates with a LAT host via the connect command. Use this option
in conjunction with the asynchronous port parameter dedicated_arguments.
A port defined as ipx allows dial-in access via the Internet Packet Exchange protocol used by Novell
Netware networks.
A port defined as ndp is a Novell-dedicated port; it allows dial-in and dial-out access for Novell
networks, as well as routing between them.
A port defined as ppp using the asynchronous port mode parameter supports the Point-to-point
Protocol.
