Port Interface Command

NOTE: On ESP-2 MI hubs, the serial port interface and termination are set in hardware. See Changing the Serial
Port Interface on ESP-2 MI Hubs on page 75 for more information. However, if an ESP-2 MI hub is configured
with the RS-422 or RS-485 interface, you may change the transfer mode with this command.
The Port Interface command specifies the physical interface for one or all ports. If the RS-422 or
RS-485 interface is specified, you may enable or disable termination by including Termination
Enable or Disable. Omitting the Termination keyword leaves the setting as is. See Physical
Interfaces on page 6 for more information. The Transfer keyword and values are valid only for
ESP-2 MI hubs.
PORT <port>|ALL INTERFACE=[RS232|RS422|RS485] [TRANSFER=RTS|ADDC]
[TERMINATION ENABLE|DISABLE]

Port Connection Method Commands

The port connection method commands enable or disable connection methods to one or all ESP hub
serial ports. See Serial Port Connection Methods on page 15 for information about enabling
multiple connection methods.

Port Redirection command

The Port Redirection command enables or disables the port redirection connection method on one
or all serial ports. See Table 3.1 on page 16 for parameter descriptions and rules for use.
PORT <port>|ALL REDIRECT ENABLE|DISABLE [BUFFERING=<hsec>]

Port Telnet Server command

The Port Telnet Server command enables or disables the Telnet server connection method on one
or all serial ports. See Table 3.2 on page 17 for parameter descriptions and rules for use.
PORT <port>|ALL TELSERVER ENABLE|DISABLE
[LOCALIPPORT=<lport>] [TIMEOUT=sec>] [BUFFERING=<hsec>]

Port TCP Server command

The Port TCP Server command enables or disables the raw TCP server connection method on one
or all serial ports. See Table 3.3 on page 18 for parameter descriptions and rules for use.
PORT <port>|ALL TCPSERVER ENABLE|DISABLE
[LOCALIPPORT=<lport>] [TIMEOUT=<sec>] [MONITORDCD ENABLE|DISABLE]
[BUFFERING=<hsec>] [IDLEBUFFERING ENABLE|DISABLE]
