Exit on pressing F6 button
Despite the fact that the CHARON VM can stop with the "power off" command entered at SRM console level, it is recommended to set a hot key to stop the VM from the console (when the console is accessed remotely for example)The following directive configures the emulator to exit immediately when the F6 key sequence is sent to the emulator console:
set OPA0 stop_on = F6 |
This line allows the CHARON VM to be stopped by pressing the "F6" keymeans that if the F6 key is pressed in the terminal emulator being used to connect to the console (PuTTY, for example), the emulator will exit immediately.
Please note that the emulator can be stopped when at the SRM prompt ("P00>>>") by type power off, as well as from the Virtual Machine Manager. To shut down the guest safely, Stromasys recommends the following procedure:
- Shut down the guest OS (OpenVMS/Tru64 UNIX)
- Wait for the SRM prompt ("P00>>>")
- Type
power offat the SRM prompt - The connection to the console will be lost when the emulator exits, which means the terminal emulator window will probaly disappear.
- At this point you can stop or restart the emulator host safely
Stromasys does not recommend enabling this feature. It means that any person (or software) which connects to the console port on the emulator host can stop the emulator and thus "pull the virtual power cable" from the OpenVMS or Tru64 UNIX guest. In particular, many organizations have deployed automated port scanners in their datacenters to discover open ports on the systems in the network. Many such port-scanning solutions, if they are able to connect to an open port, will next try to send data to the port. In many cases this data can be interpreted as the stop sequence and cause the emulator to exit.
If you must allow incoming connections to the console port, you should configure the Windows firewall with a "whitelist" of IP addresses from which such connections are allowed, and disallow all other addresses.

Optionally it is possible to configure the folIowing models of PBXDA-xx family controllers.
VIrtual PBXDA-xx
Syntax for loading PBXDA-xx family serial lines adapters:
|
Example:
load PBXDA_AC/DIGI TXA |
The adapter instance name ("TXA" in the example above) is used then for parametrization, for example:
set TXA line[2]="COM1:" |
The numbers in the square brackets represent line number on the virtual PBXDA adapter starting from 0.
