The next configuration statement is the "Configuration name" option:
include configuration_name.icfg |
In "configuration_name.icfg" file it is possible to specify the name of this VM it among other instances running on the same host:

The goal of this configuration step is to tell

| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| port | Specifies a unique IP port on the host to which the CHARON VM console will be mapped. |
| application | A string specifying a name of an application to be started together with CHARON to provide emulation of HP Alpha 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, the CHARON VM uses the IP port "10003" for the HP Alpha console and starts the "Putty" terminal emulator (included in the CHARON installation kit) 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:

| application | Starting some application (typically terminal emulator) with its specific options and switches to communicate to CHARON using the IP port defined by the "port" parameter (see above) |
| alias | Define some meaningful name for "COM1" and "COM2". Usually it is "OPA0" for "COM1" and "TTA0" for "COM2" (see below) |
The second console line "TTA0" can be also optionally configured (for 1 CPU models such as HP AlphaServer 400,
