Conﬁguration Parameters

prompt

This asynchronous port parameter deﬁnes a port-speciﬁc prompt string. The prompt string consists

of displayable characters and embedded formatting codes. Each formatting code, which consists of

a percent character (%) followed by a single character, is compressed and stored as a single character

in nonvolatile memory. The maximum number of characters stored for the prompt string is 16.

Because each formatting code consists of two characters, the maximum string size is 32 characters.

String sizes smaller than 32 characters are rejected as bad values if they cannot be stored into 16

characters in nonvolatile memory after the formatting codes are compressed into single characters.

Table C2-5 on page C2-17 lists and describes these codes. The Model 5390 server cli_prompt

parameter deﬁnes the default prompt.

This asynchronous port parameter is used with the telnet command to indicate how much incoming

data to buffer on a slave port. Incoming data is buffered continuously before, during, and after the

Telnet session; no data buffering occurs during LAT access to the port. The port must be reset after

setting or changing this value. Values range from 0 to 32767. The default is 0 (disabled).

This asynchronous port parameter deﬁnes the reprint line character for CLI users. The allowable

value is a control character sequence. The default is

This asynchronous port parameter deﬁnes the IP address for a host at the other end of the

asynchronous line. This parameter works only when the mode parameter is set to slip or ppp. The

default is 0.0.0.0.

This asynchronous port parameter deﬁnes whether input or output resets the idle timer. The idle

time is the time lapse between activity and inactivity at the device. This parameter is used with the

who command. Valid options are input and output. The default is input.
