5-4 Configuring Ports for Outgoing/Bi-Directional Connec-
Example
In this example, ports 1 and 2 are set up for incoming modem connections using RTS/CTS flow
control.
set ports range=1-2 dev=min
set line range=1-2 baud=115200
set flow range=1-2 ixon=off ixoff=off cts=on rts=on
Configuring Ports for Outgoing/Bi-Directional Connections: Command Line
This section describes how to configure outgoing and bidirectional modem connections from the
command line.

• For more information on setting the port’s flow control attributes see the set flow command in
the Digi One/PortServer TS Command Reference.
• For information on setting serial line operating parameters such as character size, the number of
stop bits, and parity, see the set line command in the Digi One/PortServer TS Command Refer-
ence.

Digi One/PortServer TS Command Reference.
Before You Begin
This procedure assumes that you
• Know the operating parameters required by the modem. If you do not, see the modem documen-
tation.
• Have or will correctly cable the connection between the PortServer TS 8/16 serial ports and
modems. See the Digi One/PortServer Cable Guide for more information.
• Logged in as root
Procedure
1. Supply a set ports command that specifies the following:
set ports range=range dev=dev
where range is a serial port or range of serial ports and dev is one of the following:
• dev=mout for outgoing-only connections
• dev=mio for bidirectional connections
Note: Use a group number (on the group field), if you intend to create a hunt group of ports
that can access a pool of modems. Make sure this group number is greater than 65.
Example:
set ports range=2 dev=mio
2. Supply a set line command that specifies the following:
set line range=range baud=bps
where range is a serial port or range of ports and bps is the line speed of the connection
Example:
set line range=2 baud=115200
3. Supply a set flow command that defines the flow control scheme required by the modem.
Example
In this example, ports 1 and 2 are configured for bidirectional modems.
set ports range=1-2 dev=mio
set line range=1-2 baud=115200
set flow range=1-2 ixon=off ixoff=off rts=on cts=on
