Command Reference
async mode
Purpose Use the async mode command to set the operating mode of the asynchronous
serial interface.
Syntax async mode { protocol | flow | terminal template-name tty-number }
Parameters protocol
Protocol mode, with which the local end directly
adopts the configured link layer protocol parameters
to set up a link with the remote end after setting up a
physical link.
flow
Flow mode, also known as interactive mode. With this
approach, the two ends set up a link by interacting
with each other upon the setup a physical link.
Specifically, the calling party sends the configuration
commands to the called party (it is equal to the
operation of manually inputting configuration
commands at the remote end), sets the link layer
protocol operating parameters of the called party, and
then sets up the link. This approach normally applies to
man-machine interaction.
terminal
Terminal mode, applied for terminal access service. So
far, it is supported only on asynchronous serial and
synchronous/asynchronous serial interfaces.
template-name
Terminal template name.
tty-number
The allocated TTY number.
Default By default, the asynchronous serial interface is working in protocol mode and the
AUX interface in flow mode.
Example Set the asynchronous serial interface 0/0/0 to work in flow mode.
