Ports

8.9 Serial Port Configuration

There are a number of configurations that apply specifically to serial transmission. These configurations are
a port's parity, baud rate, and bits per character. The bits per character is set using the Set/Define Ports
Character Size command, described on page 12-64. Set/Define Ports Parity (discussed on page 12-77)
sets a port's parity, and Set/Define Ports Speed (discussed on page 12-88) sets the baud rate.
Use of these commands is relatively straightforward. Please refer to the
Note:
designated page references for the appropriate syntax.
The Autobaud characteristic enables a port to detect an incoming baud rate, character size, and parity and
configure its characteristics to match. This characteristic cannot be enabled if the port's Access is set to
Remote or Dynamic (see Setting Port Access on page 8-1) or if the specified port offers a service. To enable
Autobaud, use the Set/Define Ports Autobaud command, discussed on page 12-58.
The following sections discuss other configuration settings.

8.9.1 Naming a Port

To assign a particular name to a port, use the Set/Define Ports Name command.
Local>> DEFINE PORT 3 PORT NAME "highspeed_modem"
The default name for each port is Port_n, where n denotes the port number (for example, Port_2).

8.9.2 Specifying a Username

A username can be specified for a port using the Set/Define Ports Username command. When the
username is specified with the Define Port Username command, users will not be prompted for a username
upon login.
Local>> DEFINE PORT 3 USERNAME fred

8.9.3 Notification of Character Loss

When the Loss Notification characteristic is enabled, a bell character (Ctrl-G) will be sent when data error
or overrun causes the loss of a character.
Local>> DEFINE PORT 2 LOSS NOTIFICATION ENABLED
