(info) The AlphaServer DS10, AlphaServer DS10L, AlphaServer DS15, AlphaServer 400, AlphaServer 800, AlphaServer 1000 and AlphaServer 1000A has have an additional on-board serial line controller providing a serial line TTA0.

...

load physical_serial_line OPA0 line="/dev/tty0"

In case of When using the TTA0 console, the mapping looks like that:

...

ParameterTypeDescription
lineText string

A defined TTY port on host system:

SyntaxDescription
"/dev/tty<N>"Virtual serial lines
"/dev/ttyS<N>"Onboard serial lines
"/dev/ttyUSB<N>"Modem or USB serial lines adapters
"/dev/tty<XXX>"Proprietary (depending on a driver) devices such as DIGI or MOXA cards
baudNumeric

Forces the baud rate of the corresponding TTY port to a specified value.The variety of supported values depends on the underlying physical communication resource (TTY port). The most widely used values are: 300, 1200, 9600, 19200, 38400.

Example:

set OPA0 baud=38400
break_onText string

Specifies what byte sequences received over the physical serial line will trigger a HALT command.

This parameter works only for the console line.

Specify the following values: "Crtl-P", "Break" or "none" ("none" disables triggering a HALT condition).

Example:

set OPA0 break_on="Crtl-P"
stop_onText string

Specifies what byte sequences received over the physical serial line will trigger a STOP condition. The STOP condition causes CHARON-AXP to exit.

Specify the one of the following values: either F6” or “none” ("none" disables triggering a STOP condition).

Example:

set OPA0 stop_on="F6"

Setting "F6" triggers the STOP condition upon receipt of the "<ESC>[17~" sequence. Terminals usually send these sequences by pressing the F6 button

logText string

A string specifying a file name to store the content of the console sessions or a directory where the log files for each individual session will be stored.

If an existing directory is specified, CHARON-AXP automatically enables creation of individual log files, one for each session using the same scheme as used for the generation of the rotating log files. If the "log" parameter is omitted, CHARON-AXP does not create a console log.

Examples:

set OPA0 log=”log.txt”

.

set OPA0 log=”/Charon/Logs

...

ParameterTypeDescription
hostText string

A remote host’s IP address or hostname (and optionally a remote TCP/IP port number) for the virtual serial line connection. If omitted, the virtual serial line does not initiate a connection to the remote host and will listen for incoming connection requests.

Specify the value in the following form:

set OPA0 host="<host-name>[:<port-no>]"

If the "<port-no>" is not specified, the virtual serial line uses the TCP/IP port number specified by the "port" parameter (see below).

portNumeric

The TCP/IP port number for the virtual serial line. A virtual serial line always listens on this port for incoming connection requests.

If multiple virtualized machines are running on a server, ensure the port number is unique across the platform.

break_onText string

Specifies what byte sequences received over a virtual serial line triggers a HALT command.

Specify one of the following values: "Crtl-P", "Break" or "none" to disable triggering a HALT condition. The commands are case insensitive.

Example:

set OPA0 break_on="Crtl-P"
stop_onText string

Specifies what byte sequences received over the virtual serial line will trigger a STOP condition. The STOP condition causes CHARON-AXP to exit.

Specify one of the following values: either F6” or “none” ("none" disables triggering a STOP condition). The commands are case insensitive.

Example:

set OPA0 stop_on="F6"
logText string

A string specifying the filename to store the content of the console sessions or a directory where log files for each individual session will be stored.

If an existing directory is specified, CHARON-AXP automatically enables the creation of individual log files, one for each session using the same scheme as used for the generation of the rotating log files. If the "log" parameter is omitted, CHARON-AXP does not create any console log.

Examples:

set OPA0 log=”log.txt”
set OPA0 log=”/Charon/Logs
