(info) Starting with Charon-AXP V4.11 build 204-14, the line above is optional. OPA0 is mapped by default to COM1.

Example when using the TTA0 console ("COM2" port):

set COM2 alias=TTA0

Refer to Mapping Serial line controllers to system resources for details of mapping.


Note

CHARON emulated console supports only 80 symbols in one line.

General parameters

CHARON-AXP console lines COM1 and COM2 have the following parameters:

(info) All the values in the following tables are case insensitive.

alias

Parameteralias
TypeIdentifier
Value

This parameter is used to set an useful name for COM1 or COM2 ports.  It can be any name, for example "Console1", but usually it is "OPA0" for COM1 and "TTA0" for COM2.

This name is logged in CHARON log file, it can also be used for parametrization in CHARON configuration file along with "COM1" and "COM2" identifiers.

The main purpose of this parameter is migration from old CHARON systems (which do not have the described implementation of consoles) to the current design, since it allows retaining the original name used for parametrization, since the rest of the parameters stay the same in both implementations. 

Note
titleThis note applies to builds before 204-13

If the "alias" parameter is not specified CHARON log file will miss the name for the given console, for example " : Connected. Remote 127.0.0.1:63516" will be displayed instead of "OPA0 : Connected. Remote 127.0.0.1:63516". So it is always recommended to specify the "alias" parameter.

Example:

set COM2 alias=TTA0

Value

  • "ascii" - for connection to terminals  (default)

  • "binary" - for binary (packet) protocols, which are used mainly for communicating with PLCs


...

Parameter

line

TypeText string
Value

A defined COM port on a host system in the form of "\\.\COMn" (or "COM<n>:")

Example:

set OPA0 line="\\.\COM1"

OPA0 console configuration examples

Using legacy syntax (not recommended)

This example maps OPA0 to port 10003, enable F6 key (emulator stop) and logs the console input/output to a rotating log file in its home directory:

load virtual_serial_line OPA0

set OPA0 port=10003

set OPA0 stop_on="F6"

set OPA0 log=".\."

Using new syntax (recommended)

This example maps OPA0 to port 10003, enable F6 key (emulator stop), logs the console input/output to a rotating log file in its home directory and enables the connection_override feature:

set COM1 alias=OPA0 (optional starting with build 204-14)

set OPA0 port=10003

set OPA0 stop_on="F6"

set OPA0 log=".\."

set OPA0 connection_override=enable
