  1. Loading the virtual serial lines' controller, for example:

    load DHV11/DHV11 TXA

    In this example, an instance of a  "DHV11" serial line controller is loaded and named "TXA".

    Note that the VAX/PDP11 console adapters ("UART", "QUART") do not need to be loaded; they are preloaded.

  2. Mapping an object type to host resources. For example:

    load virtual_serial_line/chserial TTA1
    set TTA1 port = 10003 application = "putty.exe -load TTA1_preset"

    In this example the object "virtual_serial_line" is loaded, named "TTA1", mapped to the "putty" terminal emulator and connected to this CHARON instance using the port 10003 (this setting is encoded in the "TTA1_preset" parameter of the "Putty" terminal emulator).

  3. Connect the loaded virtual line controller and the mapped object:

    set TXA line[5]=TTA1

    In this example, the 6th line of the DHV11 controller, "TXA", loaded in step 1, is connected to the mapping object, "TTA1", loaded in step 2.

TypeFunction
physical_serial_line

This type of mapping associates a COM port on a host system with an emulated VAX/PDP11 serial line controller virtual "line".

The COM port can be a physical hardware port or a logical COM port.

virtual_serial_lineThis type of mapping associates a network connection on the host system with an emulated VAX/PDP11 serial line controller virtual "line"

Example:

load physical_serial_line/chserial OPA0
