12.7.9 Define Ports Modem Control
Enables or disables modem handling on the specified port(s). When modem handling is enabled, the
assertion and deassertion of modem signals (DSR, DTR, and DCD) control the port’s interaction with the
modem, including initializing the modem upon booting and resetting the modem between uses. The SCS
monitors DCD to determine if a connection exists. If DCD drops, the SCS will log the port out and drop
DTR.
Note: Modem control is automatically enabled on ports that have modems attached
(i.e. when you set the modem type with Define Ports Modem Type).
Restrictions Requires privileged user status.
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.
Defaults Disabled
