Parameterlog_file_size
TypeText string
Value

If log rotation is enabled, the log_file_size parameter determines the log file size threshold at which the log is automatically rotated.

  • "unlimited" or "0" (default) - the feature is disabled
  • "default" - default size is used (4Mb)
  • <size>[KMG] - size of the current log file in bytes with additional multipliers:
    • K - Kilobyte - multiply by 1024

    • M - Megabyte - multiply by 1024*1024

    • G - Gigabyte - multiply by 1024*1024*1024

Examples:

set OPA0 log_file_size="default"


set OPA0 log_file_size=10M

(warning) Minimum log file size is 64K, maximum is 1G. Setting size less then 64K effectively makes the log file unlimited.

host

...

port

...

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).

port

Parameterport
TypeNumeric
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.

...

Parameterapplication
TypeText string
Value

A command line for calling some host application for communication to Charon on a given COM line.

Typically this parameter is used for mapping COM1 or COM2 or some "xterm" terminal emulator

Example:

set OPA0 application = "xterm -title OPA0 -e telnet 127.0.0.1 10003"

Notes on

...

"port" and "application" parameters

...

Use the combination of "port"

...

and "application" parameters as follows to connect a 3rd party terminal emulator or similar program.


set 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 10003 of localhost ("127.0.0.1") and at the same time it 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:set COM2 alias=TTA0 host="192.168.1.1:20000" port=10000

In 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"

Note: the examples above are mainly used for inter-CHARON communications. They are used to connect CHARON-AXP to an application that communicates to CHARON-AXP as described below.

Example of two CHARON systems connected to each other:

On host "A":

...

On host "B":
