The following fields are important:
Access:
Set the Access field to Dynamic (dial-in or out)
or Remote (dial-out only).
Monitor DCD: With this flag set to Yes , the terminal server will
monitor the modem signal Data Carrier Detect
(DCD) - pin 8. When the modem hangs up, pin
DCD from the modem goes low and the
terminal server port will reset.
Flow Ctrl:
The modem and terminal server port should be
configured to use Hardware (RTS/CTS) flow
control. This will be especially important if you
are transferring binary files.
Mode:
Set this field to raw.
If you have not already loaded ioland onto your system, do so
now (see the supplied support disk). For more information on
ioland see Connecting Other Devices (section 8). In it's
simplest form, at the superuser prompt you would run the
following command in Unix:
ioland –h <server-name> 10006 <device-name>
This will start the ioland process and allow you to specify a
device-name in /dev that is linked to a pseudo tty. This
pseudo tty works just like a regular tty with the following
exception: you cannot set physical attributes such as baud
rate, parity and flow control as these are handled by the
terminal server. If you plan to use communication software
on the Unix host such as cu or uucp you should refer to your
Unix manual for additional help.
