Examples Following is an example of setting up Industrial Automation configurations. 
It includes commands used to clear any existing settings before configuring 
new settings. 
Getting started
To fully clear all IA settings, issue the following command:
#> revert ia=factory 
See "revert" on page 79.
The “revert” command clears all IA settings for serial ports, masters and 
tables. This command also disables the IA engine. Therefore, to reenable 
the IA engine on specific serial ports, issue the following command:
#> set ports ra=1 dev=ia 
See "set ports" on page 169.
To set baud rate and other serial port settings, issue the following 
command:
#> set line ra=1 baud=9600
See "set line" on page 149.
To enable RTS/CTS flow control for radio modems or half-duplex RS485 
converters, use the command:
#> set flow ra=1 rts=toggle 
See "set flow" on page 116.
Note that the pre-delay and post-delay settings for set flow can be used to 
delay transmission after RTS rises and before RTS drops respectively.
