40 IOLAN DS1/TS2 CLI Reference Guide, Version 4.1
Options break
Specifies how a break is interpreted:
z off—The IOLAN ignores the break key completely and it is not passed through to
the host. This is the default setting.
z local—The IOLAN deals with the break locally. If the user is in a session, the
break key has the same effect as a hot key.
z remote—When the break key is pressed, the IOLAN translates this into a telnet
break signal which it sends to the host machine.
z break-interrupt—On some systems such as SunOS, XENIX, and AIX, a break
received from the peripheral is not passed to the client properly. If the client wishes
to make the break act like an interrupt key (for example, when the stty options
-ignbrk and brkintr are set).
break-length
The length of time (in milliseconds) for which the break signal will be asserted on the se-
rial port. Valid values are 0-65535.
Default is 1000 ms
A value of 0 will cause the "request to send a break signal" to be ignored.
break-delay
The length of time (in milliseconds) to delay after a break signal is sent before the IOLAN
sends data. Valid values are 0-65535.
Default: 0 ms ( no delay )
connection-method
Determines how a modem will work on the line. Select from the following options:
z Direct Connect—Indicates that there is not a modem on the line. This is the
default.
z Dial In—Specify this option when a user is remote and will be dialing in via
modem or ISDN TA.
z Dial Out—Specify this option when a modem is attached to the serial port and is
being used to dial out.
z Dial In/Out—Specify this option when the IOLAN is being used as a router
(depending on which end of the link your IOLAN is situated and how you want to
initiate the communication).
data-bits
Specifies the number of bits in a byte. The default is 8.
dial-timeout
The number of seconds the IOLAN will wait to establish a connection to a remote
modem. The default value is 45 seconds.
dial-retries
The number of times the IOLAN will attempt to establish a connection with a remote
modem. The default value is
2.
flowin
Determines if input flow control is to be used. Default is On. This is active only when
Line Flow Control is set to Soft, Hard, or Both.
flowout
Determines if output flow control is to be used. Default is On. This is active only when
Line Flow Control is set to Soft, Hard, or Both.
