Parameter license_key_id 

Optional parameter. There can be several license_key_id parameters in this section. They define a prioritized list of license keys. The first entry has the highest priority. If no key with this ID is available, the next key in the list will be tried. If a higher priority key becomes available, the emulator will switch to this license at the next periodic license check.

Syntax:

license_key_id "key-id-prio1"

...

Optional parameter. There can be several license_id parameters in this section. They define a prioritized list of product license IDs. The first entry has the highest priority. If no key with this product license ID is available, the next product license ID in the list will be attempted. If a higher priority license becomes available, the emulator will switch to this license at the next periodic license check.

Syntax:

license_id "lic-id-prio1"

...

The type option specifies the serial line connection type.

Possible values:

dummyDUMMY

  • Default value
  • The serial line is not connected to a port.
  • The line has no input.
  • The output will be discarded but can be logged to a file.

telnet

  • Port is a network socket with telnet protocol support.
  • Data is transmitted as a character stream encapsulated in the telnet protocol.
  • UART baud rate and parity modes are ignored.
  • If no client is connected, the output will be discarded.
  • Only one client connection is allowed.

socket

  • Raw network socket port mode.
  • Data is transmitted as a character stream without UART signals.
  • UART baud rate and parity modes are ignored.
  • If no client is connected, the output will be discarded.
  • Only one client connection is allowed.

pty

  • Linux pseudo terminal device.

  • UART baud rate and parity modes are ignored.
  • Ignores serial port control signals changes.

tty

  • Linux serial interface device.

  • This port type implements all serial port control signals, baud rate changes, parity modes. Actual capabilities depend on the capabilities of the host hardware.

RFC2217

  • Port is a network telnet client with RFC2217 support.

  • The RFC2217 COM Port Control (a telnet protocol extension) allows sharing modems and other serial devices over a TCP/IP network.

  • The emulated serial interface connects to a serial port server.
  • This port type implements all serial port control signals, baud rate changes, parity modes. Actual capabilities depend on the capabilities of the host hardware.

...

The format and values of the port option, depend on the type of the port.

Type
Port settings
dummyDUMMYAny existing port settings are ignored.
socket, telnet

The port is mapped to a TCP socket on the emulator host. A TCP port number must be unique on the host system.

The TCP port number is specified in the following format:

<where-to-listen>:<portnumber>

Possible values for where-to-listen:

  • Empty:
    • If the port number is specified without a colon (:), the interface process will only be accessible on the localhost address. Equivalent lo:<portnumber>.
    • If the port number is specified with a colon, the interface process will listen on all host interfaces.
  • Interface name: the interface process will only listen on the specified host IP interface.
  • IP address: the interface process will only listen on the specified host IP address.

Default values:

  • ":30000" for line 1
  • ":30002" for line 2
pty, tty

The port is mapped to a serial host interface (e.g., /dev/ttyS0, /dev/ttyUSB0). For type pty, a pseudoterminal device is created automatically if no device is specified.

The format is <device-path> (as shown in the examples above).

RFC2217

The port is mapped to a serial port server on the network.

The format is <ip-address>:<port><tcp-port>

command

This parameter is optional. It can be used to specify a terminal emulation program that is started automatically when the emulated system is started. Charon-PAR provides preconfigured profiles for PuTTY (HPA-Socket HPA-Telnet HPA-Telnet-VT100) that can be used to connect to the emulated system via a serial line.
