CHANGING FLOW CONTROL SETTINGS
The default setting for flow control on a DECmux II unit is XON/XOFF, and
on the MUXserver 100 is input and output flow control enabled.
The PORT command (see Chapter 6, Section 6.3.9) is used to change the
DECmux II setting, and the SET or DEFINE PORT to change the
MUXserver 100 settings. The DECmux II unit will use DTR/DSR if set; other-
wise, it uses the MUXserver 100 settings for flow control (XON/XOFF charac-
ters only).
2.7.4 Switch Characteristics
Several terminal characteristics allow the terminal user to switch between local
and service modes, and between service sessions.
LOCAL SWITCH
The local switch character can be used to enter local mode from service mode.
You can set up any keyboard character as the local switch, but an unused con-
trol character is recommended. The default is NONE. (The [BREAK] key, if
enabled, can be used to enter local mode from service mode.)
