serial.uartX.device.<option>="<value>"

or (for model 720)

asp.uartX.device.<option>="<value>"



(info) If If the Super/IO module has been loaded, there are two additional serial lines. In the configuration, they are identified by 

  • superio_001.uart0 and
  • superio_001.uart1.

The basic configuration options are the same as for the default serial lines.

A serial port has three configuration options:

...

  • charon-host: IP address or hostname of the Charon-PAR host system on which the emulator runs
  • console-tcp-port: The TCP port configured for the serial console port in the configuration file of the emulated PA3 system

(warning)  Please note: Line-editing is very limited. To delete a character on the command-line, use CTRL+BACKSPACE. Note that the deleted character will still be visible until it is overwritten. Block-mode applications are not supported.

The image below shows a PuTTY terminal window connected to the guest MPE/iX system console:

(warning) Please note: Line-editing is very limited. To delete a character on the command-line, use BACKSPACE. Note that the deleted character will still be visible until it is overwritten. Block-mode applications are not supported.

...

# yum install xorg-x11-fonts-misc

(info) When Please note: When using xhpterm , avoid resizing the window - it can result in input and output fields in block-mode programs being misaligned. Changing the screen font will change the window size automatically, without causing this problem.

...

  • charon-host: IP address or hostname of the Charon-PAR host system on which the emulator runs
  • console-tcp-port: The TCP port configured for the serial console port in the configuration file of the emulated PA3 system

(warning)  Please note: To make character deletion via the BACKSPACE key work on the command-line of HP-UX, you may have to enter the command$ stty erase <backspace-key> (and add it to your shell startup file, e.g., $HOME/.profile).

...


StepCommand / Action
1Make sure the preconfigured PuTTY profiles are in the directory .putty/sessions or .config/putty/sessions in your home directory.(see Charon-PAR Software Installation#PARSoftwareInstallation-Post-InstallationTasks)
2Start PuTTY from the command-line. $ putty -load PAR-Telnet-VT100
3Should you get an error that a font was not found, change the font.


Start PuTTY from the command-line.

$ putty

  • Select and load the required profile.
  • Select Fonts on the left and select a monospace font.
  • Select Session on the left and save the profile.
4To connect from a remote host, change localhost in the template to the correct hostname or IP address.

Start PuTTY from the command-line.

$ putty

  • Select and load the required profile.
  • Change the hostname to the one of the Charon-PAR host as required.
  • Connect to the remote Charon-PAR system.


(info) Instead Instead of PuTTY, you can also use the standard telnet command on your local or remote Linux system (telnet <charon-par-host> <port>). However, Stromasys does not provide profiles for this. To make character deletion via the BACKSPACE key work on the command-line of HP-UX, you may have to use the command $ stty erase <backspace-key>.

...

StepCommand
To enable better line drawing with the VT100 setting do the following on system where PuTTY runs
PuTTY versions before 0.71
Temporary set locale to C before starting PuTTY if you use a different locale. 

$ export LC_ALL=C

Then start PuTTY.

This setting will enable proper line-drawing.

PuTTY versions starting with 0.71
Use the new UTF8linedraw parameter in the PuTTY configuration.

Either add the line UTF8linedraw=1 to your session configuration file

or

Start PuTTY from the command-line, load the PAR-Telnet-VT100 session, enable VT100 line drawing for UTF-8 (the last parameter in Window > Translation), and save the session.

On the HP-UX guest system
Set the terminal type to vt100 after logging in to the system (this can be added to the login profile, if required).

$ TERM=vt100

$ export TERM

This will configure a terminal type known to HP-UX. Without a known terminal type many screen-based applications (e.g., editor, SAM) will not work.


(info) Additional Additional information: Cannot get correct line drawing on Linux/UNIX with Putty.

Accessing the Emulated System Console from a Remote System

(warning) Please Please note:

  • intermediate firewalls must allow the ports used.

...

  • There can be only one connection to an emulated serial line at one time.

The following two options provide two examples of how to connect to the console of an emulated system from a remote system.

...

Even though a plain telnet connection can be used to connect to the emulated system's console, this plaintext connection may create security problems. As an alternative, you can tunnel a terminal emulation through an SSH tunnel provided X11 is active on the emulator host and the remote system.

(warning) Any Please note: Any intermediate firewall must permit the port used for SSH (default 22).
