Axel AX3000 80 User Manual

Interactive Set-Up
AX3000 Models 80 and 85 - User's Manual 63
- Auto-Connection: if this parameter is set to 'yes', the connection will be automatically
established when the AX3000 is powered-up. Alternatively the user can press any key on
the serial terminal keyboard to initiate the connection.
- Auto-Reconnection: if this parameter is set to 'yes' a new connection is automatically
established after a disconnection. If set to ‘no’ the user can press any keyboard key to
establish a new connection.
- Enhanced parameters: see Appendix A.7.3.
Note: the serial auxiliary port used must be configured for 'bi-directional' operating mode.
3.5.4 - Connecting other Peripherals
The Unix/Linux tty service provides bi-directional control of the device.
Note: only the two serial auxiliary ports are bidirectional. For other ports (parallel and logical ports)
the tty service acts as a unidirectional service.
To set the tty service on the port, enter the following parameters in the [Configuration]-[Ports]-
[xxx]-[yyy] dialog box:
- Service: select tty.
- Parameters: the following box is displayed:
- Server: selected from the server table (see Chapter 3.1.4). A new server can be added
by selecting 'IP address' or 'Server Name'.
- TCP Port: usual value is 2048.
- Auto-Reconnection: if this parameter is set to 'yes', a new connection is automatically
established after a disconnection. Otherwise, the AX3000 must be power-cycled.
- Enhanced parameters: see Appendix A.10.3.
Note: Axel provides a Unix/Linux utility called axtty by which pseudo-devices (/dev/ttypx) may be
linked to the AX3000 serial ports. The AX3000 ports appear as local UNIX ‘/dev/xxx’ ports. For
more information, see Chapter 8.4.
3.5.5 - Using a Serial Port as the Main Port of a Session
A screen session can be associated with a serial port. This session now connects as a serial dumb
terminal.
Serial and TCP/IP screen sessions can be used at the same time.
For more information see Chapter 8.1.2 (sub-section d).
3.5.6 - Other Uses
a) Using rtty
With the rtty service, the AX3000 acts as a server. The AX3000 "listens" on a given TCP port.
Then, a connection can be established from a Windows or Unix box to send or received data.
