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.
Note:
Use of these commands is relatively straightforward. Please refer to the
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.
Figure 8-31:
Assigning a Port Name
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.

Specifying a Username
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.
Figure 8-33:
Enabling Loss Notification
Local>> DEFINE PORT 3 PORT NAME "highspeed_modem"
Local>> DEFINE PORT 3 USERNAME fred
Local>> DEFINE PORT 2 LOSS NOTIFICATION ENABLED
