Port Parameters
Field
Description
Test
Places the selected port into loopback mode. Loopback mode
can be used to verify that a port is receiving and sending
characters. The port that issues the set command cannot put
itself in loopback mode.
Y = Yes (loopback mode)
N = No
Setting Port Parameters from the Menu
To set port parameters from the menu:
1.
Enter SET at the DECserver 90L prompt. The * in the menu
indicates the port you are attached to.
The following example shows how to set port 8 for use with a printer
(user entries are bolded). The following port parameters are set in
this example.
Port name: PRINT
Speed: 9600
Input control: Remains unchanged
Output control: Remains unchanged
Terminal/Printer: Printer
Break: Remote
Remote modify: Remains unchanged
Test: Remains unchanged
2.
Select the port (1 through 8).
3.
Set the parameters in response to the prompts. The * indicates the
current setting of the parameter for the selected port. The setting of
each parameter is terminated with a
Return
. Entering a
Return
with
no input for a parameter leaves the field unchanged. If an incorrect
entry is made the DECserver 90L signals the error and waits for a
correct entry.
