Latb_Enable; Line_Erase; Load_Broadcast - Bay Networks 6300 Supplement Manual

Book C
Remote Annex 6300 Supplement to the Remote Annex Administrator's Guide for UNIX

latb_enable

This asynchronous port parameter enables the RA 6300 to decode a LAT
hosts's data-b packet. Data-b packets change certain asynchronous port
parameters (see your LAT host's documentation for more details). A Y
enables this parameter, an N disables it. The default is N.
If latb_enable is set to Y and the LAT host sends a data-b slot
message requesting that flow control (XON/XOFF) be turned off, the
RA 6300 turns off flow control and passes XON/XOFF characters to
the host. This scenario can adversely affect both XON/XOFF and the
cursor keys on the terminal.

line_erase

This asynchronous port parameter allows an RA 6300 to echo line erase
for a video terminal. When enabled, the RA 6300 erases all characters on
the line and moves the cursor back to the beginning of the line. When
disabled, the RA 6300 echoes the line erase character for hard-copy
terminals, making the deleted line visible and positioning the print head
at the beginning of the next line. The line erase occurs only at the CLI
level. A Y enables this parameter, an N disables it. The default is Y.

load_broadcast

This Annex parameter defines, during a boot, whether or not the RA 6300
requests the configuration or message-of-the-day files from other hosts
on the network if any or all of the files are not available on the preferred
load host. A Y enables this parameter, an N disables it. The default is Y.
