Nortel Networks VT100 - Manual (Page 49)

3-10 Getting started
555-9001-316 Standard 1.0 February 1996
The follow sections describe each entry in the vt100.ctl file.
session-number
The session-number entry specifies the session this line defines. For
example, the first line in Figure 3-7 defines the terminal type to be used for
session 2. The entry must be a single number, ranging from 2 to 16. You do
not need to list the sessions in numerical order, and you can skip session
numbers.
device-name
The device-name entry is the exact name of the device file in the / dev
directory to use for the VT100 Gateway for the specified sessions. Use the
full directory path (as shown in Figure 3-7) when entering the device file
name. You can set all necessary operating modes (e.g., baud rate,
representation parameters, flow control, etc.) in the com.conf file discussed
in the next section.
terminal-type
The terminal-type entry defines the type of terminal to be emulated by the
TRS process. For this release of the VT100 Gateway, this entry is always
“vt100.” This field is included to support future releases that may allow
additional terminal types.
Setting up the com.conf file
com.conf s ets the communication attributes of the serial port. The com.conf
file allows the adjustment of the terminal I/O options for the host’s input
device, which in this case is the IVR 2.0/I TRS process. If the
com.conf file
does not exist, the TRS uses its hardcoded default values. Table 3-1 shows the
TRS default communication settings.
