Configuring Ports

Ports Configuration Menu

Target serial ports are configured from the CLI using the ports menu. In addition to the
description of the physical nature of the ports, other services may also be defined. Those services
are:

• The escape sequence used to disconnect from the port to access the emulator to send

breaks or control multi user functions. (Example: Ctrl a)

• Set the exit string that is to be sent to the target when an idle timeout occurs. By sending

the exit string, the port is disconnected from the DSX and the next user logging into the
port will have to log into the target as well. (Cisco router example: logout)

• Define the addresses to be used for direct port addressing. Direct port addressing can use

an individual IP address per port or a unique TCP Port address per port. Direct Port
Addressing is supported by both Telnet and SSH
See the Direct Port Addressing section for details of this feature.

Ports Config Command


The syntax of the config command is:

config [port ] [name string] [bps value] [parity
] [flowcontrol ] [detect ]
[escapemode ] [escapechar char] [emulation type]
[exitstring ] [dpaip ipaddress] [telnet port] [ssh port]

The command options are described in Table 24.

port

Single port or range of ports (1-n or 1,3,4 or * for all ports)

name string

Port Name

bps value

Port speed (bitrate) in bits-per-second:
(1200|1800|2400|4800|9600|19200|28800|38400|57600|115200)

parity

hw = hardware flow control
sw =X on / X off)

detect

escapemode

Use Ctrl-key (escapemode=control) or single key
(escapemode=none) as escape sequence; for example,
Ctrl-] => escapemode=control, escapechar=]

escapechar char

Escape character.

emulation type

Target Emulation type: VT100|VT220|VT320|ANSI

exitstring

Execute exit string when port session closes., for example,
config port 1 exitstring logout (execute logout on exit)
config port 1 exitstring #0 (disable exit string for the port)

dpaip ipaddress

IP Address assigned for direct port access

telnet port

TCP Port assigned for direct port access via Telnet

ssh port

TCP Port assigned for direct port access via ssh
