The Port Server and Rotaries
protocol=binary
The setting
protocol=binary
configures a binary
rotary. In this
configuration, the Model
5390 server negotiates
with the host to operate
in telnet binary mode in
both directions:
strip-record:
protocol=binary
direct_camp_on=never
/
1-3,12@132.245.6.30
Configuring Port
Selection
The keyword select=
defines the order in
which the rotary selects
ports. If select=first, the
rotary selects the first
available port in the
port_set; select=next
directs the rotary to keep
track of the last port that
was selected, and to start
its search from that point.
In the following
example, the user
connects to the rotary
modems and is attached
to port 1; after
disconnecting and then
re-connecting to
modems, the user is
attached to port 2:
