  1. Loading the virtual serial lines' controller, for example:

    load DHV11/DHV11 TXA

    In this example, an instance of a  "DHV11" serial line controller is loaded and named "TXA".

    Note that the VAX/PDP11 console adapters ("UART", "QUART") do not need to be loaded; they are preloaded.

  2. Mapping an object type to host resources. For example for the virtual serial lines (see below):

    load virtual_serial_line/chserial TTA1
    set TTA1 port = 10003 application = "putty -load CHTERM-VT100 -title TTA1@XYZ -P 10003"

    In this example the object "virtual_serial_line" is loaded, named "TTA1", mapped to the "putty" terminal emulator and connected to this CHARON instance using the port 10003 (this setting is also specified via the partameter "-P". "CHTERM-VT100" parameter stands for the Putty terminal emulator specific settings. "-title" parameter is used for naming the terminal emulator window.

  3. Connect the loaded virtual line controller and the mapped object:

    set TXA line[5]=TTA1

    In this example, the 6th line of the DHV11 controller, "TXA", loaded in step 1, is connected to the mapping object, "TTA1", loaded in step 2.

set UART alias=OPA0
set OPA0 port=10003 application="putty -load CHTERM-VT100 -title OPA0@myvax -P 10003"

(info) The first line above is optional as Charon-VAX/PDP presets UART's alias to OPA0

...

set QUART alias[3] = OPA0
set OPA0 port=10003 application="putty -load CHTERM-VT100 -title OPA0@myvax -P 10003"

(info) The first line above is optional as Charon-VAX/PDP presets UART's alias to OPA0

...

This command connects the first serial line ("line[0]") of a "QUART" serial line controller to a CHARON-VAX / CHARON-PDP connection instance named "TTA0". As explained earlier, TTA0 may be a virtual serial line connected to a port or a physical serial line connected to a host serial port or a virtual terminal. 

In the example below, the command connects the sixth serial line of a previously loaded controller (named "TXA") to "TTA1". "TTA1" could be defined, for example, as a physical serial line connected to COM/COM port:

set TXA line[5]=TTA1

OPA0 console configuration examples

Using legacy syntax (not recommended)

This example, using a MicroVAX 4000-106, maps OPA0 to port 10003, enable F6 key (emulator stop) and logs the console input/output to a rotating log file in its home directory:

load virtual_serial_line OPA0

set OPA0 port=10003

set quart line[3]=OPA0

set OPA0 stop_on="F6"

set OPA0 log=".\."

Using new syntax (recommended)

This example, using a MicroVAX 4000-106, maps OPA0 to port 10003, enable F6 key (emulator stop), logs the console input/output to a rotating log file in its home directory and enables the connection_override feature:

set QUART alias[3]=OPA0  (optional starting with build 204-13)

set OPA0 port=10003

set OPA0 stop_on="F6"

set OPA0 log=".\."

set OPA0 connection_override=enable
