SHOW|LIST PORT
893-386-B 3-47
Flow Control The method that the serial interface uses to regulate the flow of data between this port
and the serial device that is connected to it, such as your terminal. The flow control
method that appears in this field may be one of the following:
Method Means
CTS The port emulates RTS/CTS flow control with the DCD and DTR
modem control signals. These signals control data transfer between the
port and the serial device connected to it.
DSR The port emulates DTR/DSR flow control with the DCD and DSR
modem control signals. These signals control data transfer between the
port and the serial device connected to it.
XON The port uses XON|OFF flow control to control data transfer between
the port and the serial device connected to it.
Disabled The port does not use any flow control method.
Parity The method that the terminal server and the terminal use to check for single-bit errors
in characters that they send back and forth. This type of error checking is called parity
checking because the terminal provides an extra bit, called a parity bit, to check the
characters. This field displays the type of parity checking, if this checking exists:
Parity Means
Even The port and the terminal ensure that each character contains an even
number of 1's, including the parity bit.
Odd The port and the terminal ensure that each character contains an odd
number of 1's, including the parity bit.
None The port and the device do not check characters for parity.
Input Speed The rate that the terminal transmits data and the terminal server port processes that data.
This rate, in bits-per-second, can be any of these: 50, 75, 110, 134, 150, 300, 600,
1200, 1800, 2000, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400.
Output Speed The rate that the terminal server port transmits data and the terminal processes the data.
This rate, in bits-per-second, can be any of these: 50, 75, 110, 134, 150, 300, 600,
1200, 1800, 2000, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400.
Modem Control Whether or not your terminal can use modem control signals during data
communications. Modem control can be Enabled or Disabled.
Access The type of connections the terminal server allows at this port.
Backward Switch
Shows the character that causes the terminal server to exit from the current session and
connect to the next lower-numbered session, or None if this is undefined. Control
characters are displayed as ^n (e.g., <Ctrl>/<B> is shown as ^B).
Break
Shows which action the port will take when the user presses the <Break> key. The
possible values which will be shown are:
Action Means
Disabled Indicates that the terminal server does nothing when the user presses the
