For example, to reset Port 3 to the default values identified in the note above,
enter:
set line baud=9600 csize=8 stopb=1 parity=n range=3
Note:
For more information on the
set line
command, refer to the
Command Reference Guide
.
Alternatively, you can enter the following command to reset the port to the factory
default:
kill tty =3 action=eewrite
2. Set the port for a printer, by entering a command in the format:
set port dev=prn range=<port_numbers>
<port_numbers>
specifies the port or ports you are configuring. For example,
to configure port 3 for a printer, enter:
set port dev=prn range=3
3. Set the flow control required by the printer, by entering a command in the format:
set flow aixon=<option> altpin=<option> cts=<option>
dcd=<option> dsr=<option> dtr=<option> itoss=<option>
ixoff=<option> ixany=<option> ixon=<option> ri=<option>
rts=<option> range <port_numbers>
In each case,
<option>
may be either
on
to use the associated signal or
function for flow control, or
off
otherwise.
<port_numbers>
specifies the
port or ports you are configuring. For example, to configure Port 3 for hardware
flow control for
output
data and software flow control off, enter:
set
flow
cts=on ixon=off ixoff=off range=3
CTS on PortServer II must be connected to DTR on the printer in this configura-
tion.
Important:
If flow control is necessary, set the printer’s flow control to match the
flow control on PortServer II.
Note:

options, refer to the
