Options eia-232 | eia422 | 485
Specifies the type of line that is being used with the Terminal Server. Select either
EIA-232, EIA-422, or EIA-485.
monitor-dcd
Specifies whether the RS-232 signal DCD (Data Carrier Detect) should be
monitored. This is used with modems or any other device that sends a DCD signal.
When it is monitored and the Terminal Server detects a DCD signal, the line service
is started. Default is
signals must be detected before the line service is started.
monitor-dsr
Specifies whether the RS-232 signal DSR (data set ready) should be monitored.
This is used with modems or any device that sends a DSR signal. When it is
monitored and the Terminal Server detects a DSR signal, the line service is started.
Default is

echo-suppression
This parameter applies only to
echoed to the user and transmitted across the serial ports. Some EIA-485
applications require local echo to be enabled in order to monitor the loopback data
to determine that line contention has occurred. If your application cannot handle
loopback data, echo suppression should be
