set COM2 alias=TTA0

Refer to Mapping Serial line controllers to system resources 695402606 for details of mapping.

General parameters

CHARON-AXP console lines COM1 and COM2 have the following parameters:

(info) All the values in the following tables are case insensitive.

alias

Parameteralias
TypeIdentifier
Value

This parameter is used to set an useful name for COM1 or COM2 ports.

Usually it is "OPA0" for COM1 and "TTA0" for COM2

Example:

set COM2 alias=TTA0


communication

Parametercommunication
Type

Text string

Value

  • "ascii" - for connection to terminals  (default)

  • "binary" - for binary (packet) protocols, which are used mainly for communicating with PLCs


Div
classpagebreak


baud

Parameterbaud
TypeNumeric
Value

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_on

Parameterbreak_on
TypeText string
Value

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: "Ctrl-P" , "Break" or "none" ("none" disables triggering a HALT condition).

Note

If your guest operating system is OpenVMS in addition to "none" setting you have to set a specific console parameter "controlp" to "off" in the following way:

>>> set controlp off
>>> power off 

The second line is to preserve the ROM settings.

Example:

set OPA0 break_on="Ctrl-P"

The default value is "Break".

(warning) This parameter can be specified only for COM1 (OPA0) console

...

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

Parameterhost
TypeText string
Value

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).

Mapping Serial line controllers to system resources

line

Parameterline
TypeText string
Value

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


Note

A specific account for running CHARON ("charon") does not allow usage of physical consoles "/dev/tty<N>" as CHARON consoles. If you plan to map CHARON console to "/dev/tty<N>" use only "root" account for CHARON running.
