Axel AX3000 - Connecting Other Peripherals; Using a Serial Port as the Main Port of a Session

Interactive Set-Up
AX3000 Models 90 - User's Manual 85
- 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 USB-Serial adaptors are bidirectional. For other 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.
