TOY means "Time of Year". Its container records time, date and some console parameters while the CHARON VM is not running.  It is highly recommended to define and activate this container: StatuscolourRedtitleBM MARKER

set toy container = "charon.dat"

The ROM container stores an intermediate state of the Flash ROM and some console parameters. So its container  It is also highly recommended to keep uncommenteddefine and activate this container:

set rom container = "vx4k106.rom"

EEPROM stores the NVRAM content, so its container is also recommended to keep uncommented. It is highly recommended to define and activate this container:

set eeprom container = "charon.rom"

#set KW11 frequency = 50
#set KW11 frequency = 60

Just uncomment Uncomment the line corresponding to the frequency used in the RSX11/RT11 systems to be migrated if needed.

The next setting indicates whether the CHARON VM will use the Advanced CPU Emulation (ACE) mode:

...

Uncomment the desired mode. ACE uses a significant amount of host memory for its normal operation. Check the host resources before enabling.

If the The "ace_mode" parameter mode is commented out, CHARON will set ACE mode according to your license settings. license dependent, the "Charon-xx/Plus" products have ACE mode enabled by default.

...

The next parameter defines the amount of host memory the chosen CHARON VM model reserves for the emulation:

...

The goal of this configuration step is to tell the CHARON VM what host device to use as the virtual system console. The following options are available:

OptionDescription
physical_serial_lineMapping to host "\\.\COM<n>" physical serial line.
virtual_serial_line

Mapping to an IP port of CHARON VM host.
Using this mapping it is possible to connect to the CHARON VM console and disconnect from it at any time.It is also possible to start up some chosen application to connect to the CHARON VM console IP port.

ParameterDescription
portSpecifies an IP port on the host to which the CHARON VM console will be mapped
applicationA string specifying a name of an application to be started together with CHARON VM to provide emulation of VAX/PDP11 console (terminal emulator)It is assumed that this application has already been configured to use the IP port specified by the corresponding "port" parameter

Example:

load virtual_serial_line/chserial OPA0 port=10003 application="putty.exe -load OPA0"

In the example above, CHARON VM use the IP port "10003" for the VAX/PDP11 console and starts the "Putty" terminal emulator (included in each CHARON distributive) with the "OPA0" saved session directing it to connect to the IP port "10003". If the terminal emulator is closed, it is always possible to reopen it with the "Show Console" feature from the CHARON Virtual Machines Manager.

The default setting is:
