Advanced Portmanager - Tripp Lite B092-016 Owner's Manual

15.1 Advanced Portmanager

pmshell
The pmshell command acts similarly to the standard tip or cu commands, but all serial port
access is directed via the portmanager.
Example:
To connect to port 8 via the portmanager:
# pmshell -l port08
pmshell Commands:
Once connected, the pmshell command supports a subset of the '~' escape commands that
tip/cu support. For SSH, you must prefix the escape with an additional '~' command (i.e. use the
'~~' escape).
Send Break:
Typing the character sequence '~b' will generate a BREAK on the serial port.
History:
Typing the character sequence '~h' will generate a history on the serial port.
Quit pmshell:
Typing the character sequence '~.' will exit from pmshell.
Set RTS to 1 run the command:
# pmshell --rts=1
Show all signals
# pmshell –signals
DSR=1 DTR=1 CTS=1 RTS=1 DCD=0
Read a line of text from the serial port:
# pmshell –getline
