IV.5.2 - Asynchronous port mode
Each asynchronous port can work in one of the following modes (regardless of the other
ports configurations) :
Terminal mode
Connection of an asynchronous terminal
(Telnet).
Printer mode
Connection of a printer (LPD).
Raw mode
Connection of a passive equipment
(RemoteCOM or rawTTY).
PPP mode
Connection of a remote host to a network or
remote networks interconnection.
(asynchronous PPP).
Rtelnet mode
Access through a TCP/IP network to an
equipment or to an operating system not
equiped with the TCP/IP protocol.
For example, to program the first five Xcell ports in each of these modes, commands
would respectively be :
ROOT >> serial mode term 1
Ok!
ROOT >> serial mode printer 2
Ok!
ROOT >> serial mode raw 3
Ok!
ROOT >> serial mode ppp 4
Ok!
ROOT >> serial mode rtelnet 5
Ok!
IV.5.3 - Type of control
A port can be configured in
local control
or in
modem control
. In
modem control
, Xcell will
ignore state of the DCD signal for this port. On the other hand, in
modem control
, Xcell will
propose to open a session only if the DCD is active. Moreover, if the DCD signal becomes
inactive, Xcell will close all the open sessions on this port.
To configurate port 3 in
local control
, enter:
ROOT>> serial linectrl local 3
To use a modem on port 2, you have to setup the port with this command :
ROOT>> serial linectrl modem 2
-22-
