Chapter 8: Port Configuration and Port Access Application

Port Configuration
To configure one or more ports:
1. Choose Setup > Port Configuration. The Port Configuration page
opens.
2. Select the port(s) you want to configure. You can select one port or
several ports, providing that all selected port configurations are
identical.
 To select specific ports, click the checkboxes to the left of the
port numbers and then click Edit.
 To select all ports, click Select All.
The Edit Port page opens.
3. Make sure the port values match the target system's serial port
configuration for the first three values.
 Select the value of Bits Per Second from the Bits Per Second
drop-down menu.
 Select the Parity Bits from the Parity Bits drop-down menu.
 Select the Flow Control from the Flow Control drop-down menu.
4. In the Detect field, indicate whether you want the Dominion SX to
detect or not detect the physical connection to the target. The default
is Do Not Detect. Change this by selecting Detect Physical
Connection to the Target from the drop-down menu in the Detect
field.
5. Type a command in the Exit Command field, for example, logout.
This is the command that will be sent to your system when a user
with write permission disconnects from the port. The main function
of this command is to ensure that the user's session on the target
machine is closed; however, it is not imperative to have an Exit
command configured on a port.
6. Select the Escape Mode. The default is None. The escape sequence
affects only the CLI . When entering the escape mode, the user is
given a menu of commands that can be performed (for example,
gethistory, power commands, and so forth), a command to return to
the port session, and a command to exit the port connection.
