Command Reference Port Commands
12-54
If the port is in Dedicated mode, the autostart characters can be sent to the host as the first bytes of data. In
all other modes, autostart characters are discarded.
Restrictions Requires privileged user status.
Errors Autostart and Autobaud are incompatible. If the port is set for Autobaud,
enabling Autostart will disable Autobaud and produce an error message.
The Save parameter is only applicable when the port is configured with a
dedicated host.
If Modem Control is enabled, a port enabled for autostart will not be idle unless
DSR is held low, and therefore will not be available for connections from the
network.
Parameters PortList/All
Specifies a particular port or group of ports, or all ports. Port numbers should
be separated with commas (for lists) or dashes (for ranges).
Note: In the absence of a PortList or the All parameter, the configuration will affect the
current port only.
Character
Sets a character that will cause a login event. Users will get the benefit of
Autostart without having to hit Return or enable Autostart for extended periods
of time.
x
Enter the desired alphanumeric character. To specify a control character, use
escaped hex (\xx). For example, Ctrl-B (ASCII character 0x02) would be
specified as \02.
y
Enter the optional second alphanumeric character. To specify a control
character, use escaped hex (\xx). For example, Ctrl-B (ASCII character 0x02)
would be specified as \02.
Any
Sets a wildcard character.
Note: If you are using command abbreviation, you must enter Any. Just entering "char
a" will be interpreted as setting the character "a" as the autostart trigger.
None
Clears the autostart character.
Save
Specifies what happens to the characters that start the connection. Either the
first and/or second autostart characters will be passed to the host as the first
bytes of data, or the characters will be discarded.
None
Discards the autostart characters.
