terminals). If output_is_activity is set, the line is registered when the Model 5390 server first
sends data (generally used for hardwired printers or other slave devices). In any case, this
entry is removed on a hang-up or when the slave line is released.
• If you set the allow_broadcast parameter to Y, setting the broadcast_direction parameter to
network allows the users on the network connecting to the host to receive any administrative
broadcasts.
• For port server security, either set the port_server_security parameter to Y or define a
password for the port_password parameter or both. Also, set the Model 5390
enable_security parameter to Y.
• To use EIA/hardware flow control (RTS/CTS), set the control_lines parameter to
flow_control, and the input_flow_control and output_flow_control parameters to eia. The
Model 5390 server asserts RTS when it is ready to receive data, and checks the CTS input
before transmitting data.
• To use software flow control (XON/XOFF), set control_lines to none, and set both
input_flow_control and output_flow_control to start/stop. The Model 5390 server sends
XOFF when it does not want to receive any more data; it sends XON when it is again ready to
receive data. When the Model 5390 server receives XOFF, it stops sending data to the port;
when it receives XON, it resumes sending data to the port.
• The CLI who command displays the user_name and location parameters.
