| Parameter | port |
|---|---|
| Type | Numeric |
| Value | 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. |
application
| Parameter | application |
|---|---|
| Type | Text string |
| Value | A command line for calling some application for communication to CHAARON on the given line. Example:

parameters
Use the combination of "port", "host" and "hostapplication" parameters as follows to connect a 3rd party terminal emulator or similar program.
load virtual_serial_line TTA0 host="192.168.1.1" port=10000set COM1 alias=OPA0 port=10003 application="xterm -title OPA0 -e chterm -h 127.0.0.1:10003"In this example CHARON-AXP OPA0 console connects to port 10000 of a host with TCP/IP address "192.168.110003 of localhost ("
127.0.0.1") and at the same time it accepts connections on local port 10000.starts "xterm" with parameters "-title OPA0 -e chterm -h 127.0.0.1:10003", instructs it to connect to the port 10003 of the host with TCP/IP address "127.0.0.1" (localhost)It is possible to specify a port on a remote host (note that CHARON always acts as a server). The syntax is:
load virtual_serial_line TTA0 hostset COM2 alias=TTA0 host="192.168.1.1:20000" port=10000In this example CHARON-AXP accepts connection on local port 10000 and connects to remote port 20000 of a host with TCP/IP address "192.168.1.1"

Example of two CHARON systems connected to each other:
On host "A":
load virtual_serial_line TTA0 port |
On host "B":
load virtual_serial_line TTA0 port |
On these two hosts, executing CHARON-AXP, the two TTA0 lines connect to each other, thus creating a "serial" cable between the two emulated Alphas. The sequential order in which the instances of CHARON-AXP are started makes no difference.
