serial
config>port
This command enables the context to configure RS-232, V.35, X.21, or RS-530 parameters for a port on a channelized 12-port Serial Data Interface card, or to configure RS-232 parameters for an RS-232 port on the 7705 SAR-Hc or on the 4-port T1/E1 and RS-232 Combination module. This context cannot be accessed by any other adapter card, module, or platform.
On the 12-port Serial Data Interface card version 2, if the port has been enabled for an RS-530 interface through the use of an adapter cable, X.21 configuration applies to the RS-530 interface. There is no configuration specifically for RS-530 operation on this card version. For the 12-port Serial Data Interface card, version 3, there is a separate rs530 command to configure RS-530 channel parameters.
A serial port configuration allows some or all of the bandwidth to be dedicated to a port by aggregating a number of DS0s into a single bundle.
Serial data transmission rates below the rate of a single DS0, that is, less than 64 kb/s, are achieved using a proprietary protocol called High Capacity Multiplexing (HCM). These speeds, known as subrate speeds, are supported on RS-232, X.21, and RS-530 ports.

config>port>serial
This command enables the context to configure X.21 parameters for a channel. When one of the ports on a connector has been configured for an X.21 channel, the other ports on the connector can only be configured for X.21.
On a 12-port Serial Data Interface card version 2, if the port has been enabled for an RS-530 interface through the use of an adapter cable, X.21 configuration applies to the RS-530 interface. There is no configuration specifically for RS-530 operation. All X.21 functionality is available on the RS-530 interface, except that only DCE operation is supported for RS-530. However, because X.21 does not support all the control leads available for RS-530, only a subset of the RS-530 control leads are supported.
The no form of this command deletes the X.21 channel.

device-gender {dte | dce}
config>port>serial>rs232
config>port>serial>rs530
config>port>serial>v35
config>port>serial>x21
This command configures the gender of the device.
Data and control signals are transmitted and received over wire pairs. The gender of a device indicates which wire in the pair is used to send and receive the signal.
On ports on the 12-port Serial Data Interface card, version 2, the data and control signals are electrically wired as DCE. Regardless of the gender configured, the Tx pin on the port is always an input pin and the Rx pin on the port is always an output pin. Changing a port from DCE to DTE does not change the pin orientation. Therefore, when a port is configured as DTE, a crossover cable is required in order to interconnect with some serial devices. If the port has been enabled for an RS-530 interface through the use of an adapter cable, only DCE operation is supported.

This command puts the specified interface into a loopback mode. The corresponding interface must be in a shutdown state in order for the loopback mode to be enabled.
In the serial context, a bidirectional loopback B or E can be configured. A bidirectional loopback is a circuit loopback that loops traffic from the line back to the line and simultaneously loops traffic from the system back to the system. Bidirectional loopback B takes place on the control card (CSM) side of the adapter card, and is closer to the system. Loopback E takes place on the data device side of the adapter card, and is closer to the line.
This command is not saved in the system configuration between boots.
The no form of this command disables loopback on the interface.

multi-drop {disabled | slave | master}
config>port>serial>rs232
config>port>serial>rs530
config>port>serial>x21
This command configures the multidrop data bridge (MDDB) mode. MDDB is a polling scheme used on SCADA networks (supervisory or control systems used in utility, oil and gas, and other vertical applications) to communicate with multiple remote terminal units (RTUs) over a single RS-232, RS-530, or X.21 link.
In an MDDB, several circuits take turns using the same bandwidth to communicate with one circuit. Each slave device transmits data in that bandwidth when requested by the master device. The master device sends polling messages to, and looks for data from, the slave devices in that bandwidth.
One example of a multidrop data bridge is several terminals taking turns to communicate with a host computer. The circuit that all the other circuits communicate with is connected to a master device (a computer) and is designated the master; the rest of the circuits are connected to slave devices (terminals) and are designated slaves.
In a SCADA network, the 7705 SAR provides the communications infrastructure to connect the central masters to multiple RTUs at remote locations, where the masters and RTUs communicate over serial RS-232 and X.21 synchronous or asynchronous links, or serial RS-530 asynchronous links (RS-530 links are only supported on the 12-port Serial Data Interface card, version 3). The 7705 SAR-8 Shelf V2 or 7705 SAR-18 located at the master site contains the Integrated Services card, which provides the MDDB bridge functionality and acts as the MDDB master. Remote 7705 SAR nodes connected to RTUs are referred to as MDDB slaves.
For both master and slave applications, the 7705 SAR must be physically connected to the SCADA device by one of the following:
a 7705 SAR-8 Shelf V2 or 7705 SAR-18 using the 12-port Serial Data Interface card
a 7705 SAR-H using the 4-port T1/E1 and RS-232 Combination module (supports RS-232 links only)
a 7705 SAR-Hc using an on-board RS-232 serial port (supports RS-232 links only)
Multidrop data bridge is supported only at subrate speeds (less than 64 kb/s) on X.21 interfaces.
When an RS-232 interface is configured as an MDDB slave, the duplex mode is automatically set to half-duplex and s-bit-signaling is forced off. When multidrop data bridge is disabled, the duplex mode is set back to the default of full-duplex and S-bit signaling is turned on (but can be set back to off).
When either an RS-232, RS-530, or X.21 interface is configured as an MDDB master, the duplex mode is automatically set to full-duplex and S-bit signaling is forced off.

parity {odd | even | mark | space}
no parity
config>port>serial>rs232
config>port>serial>rs530
config>port>serial>x21
This command configures the parity bit in a character. Parity is an error detection method that adds an extra bit to each character, based on the number of 0s or 1s in the character.
This command is valid only if device-mode is asynchronous. The value for this command must be no parity (that is, none) if the character-length value is 8 and the stop-bits value is 2.
The no form of this command disables the parity bit in a character.
no parity
the parity bit is set to 0 or 1 to make the total number of 1s in the set of bits odd
the parity bit is set to 0 or 1 to make the total number of 1s in the set of bits even
the parity bit is present but not used and is always set to 1
the parity bit is present but not used and is always set to 0

s-bit-signaling {on | off}
config>port>serial>rs232
config>port>serial>rs530
config>port>serial>x21
This command configures the S-bit signaling option on an RS-232, RS-530, or X.21 interface.
For RS-232 interfaces only, if multi-drop is configured as slave or master, the system automatically turns S-bit signaling off. The signaling mode cannot then be changed. If multi-drop is configured as disabled, the system automatically turns S-bit signaling on. When multi-drop is in disabled mode, S-bit signaling can be turned off or on.
This command is only valid for ports configured for subrate speeds.
on
enables S-bit signaling
disables S-bit signaling
[no] socket socket-id
config>port>serial>rs232
This command creates a socket on an RS-232 port. When a socket is configured, the RS-232 channel-group command is blocked. If the port is already configured as a channel group before the socket is configured, this command is blocked.
The RS-232 port must be in asynchronous mode.
The no form of the command deletes the socket from the serial port.
n/a
specifies the raw socket ID number
encap-type encap-type
config>port>serial>rs232>socket
This command specifies the encapsulation type for a socket. When the encapsulation type is set, then the socket is considered operational and the port can be further configured as an IP transport subservice under an IES or VPRN service.
If the serial port has already been configured as an IES or VPRN IP transport subservice, then this command is blocked until the IP transport subservice is deconfigured.
raw
specifies the encapsulation type to be used with the socket
rx
config>port>serial>rs232>socket
This command enables the context to configure parameters for data packets received over a serial port’s raw socket.
n/a
eop
config>port>serial>rs232>socket>rx
This command enables the context to configure end-of-packet (EOP) parameters for data packets received over the socket.
An end of packet will be declared by whichever EOP condition is encountered first.
n/a
idle-timeout milliseconds
config>port>serial>rs232>socket>rx>eop
This command specifies how long a serial port can remain idle before an EOP is declared and the packet is sent over the socket.
50 ms
specifies the length of time, in milliseconds, that a serial port can remain idle before an EOP is declared
length bytes
config>port>serial>rs232>socket>rx>eop
This command specifies the number of characters (converted to bytes) received on the serial port that triggers the node to encapsulate the characters in an IP transport packet and send it over an IES or VPRN service.
1500
the number of characters (in bytes) to trigger sending an IP transport packet
special-char value
no special-char
config>port>serial>rs232>socket>rx>eop
This command specifies a special character that, if received on the serial port, declares an EOP and triggers the node to encapsulate previously received queued characters in an IP transport packet and send it over an IES or VPRN service.
Other than declaring the EOP, the special character is otherwise treated as regular data; that is, it is added to the packet.
The no form of the command disables checking for a special character.
no special-char
specifies the special character, in a decimal or hexadecimal format, that triggers end of packet
squelch-delay seconds
no squelch-delay
config>port>serial>rs232>socket>rx
This command specifies how long a serial port can receive a continuous data stream before an alarm is raised indicating that the serial port has locked up and triggering the squelching function.
The no form of the command disables the squelching function on the serial port.
no squelch-delay
the number of seconds that a serial port can receive data before the squelching function is triggered
squelch-reset
config>port>serial>rs232>socket>rx
This command allows an operator to manually clear squelching on a serial port’s raw socket without having to configure a time limit on the squelching function.
Squelching can also be set to clear automatically after a time limit has been reached with the unsquelch-delay command.
n/a
unsquelch-delay seconds
no unsquelch-delay
config>port>serial>rs232>socket>rx
This command clears squelching on a raw socket by setting a limit on the amount of time that squelching can remain active on the port. When the time limit is reached, the auto-clear function is enabled and the serial port’s raw socket is put back into a normal state.
Squelching can also be cleared manually with the squelch-reset command.
The no form of the command disables the auto-clear function on a serial port.
no unsquelch-delay
the number of seconds before the auto-clear function is activated
tx
config>port>serial>rs232>socket
This command enables the context to configure parameters for data packets transmitted over a serial port’s raw socket.
inter-session-delay milliseconds
config>port>serial>rs232>socket>tx
This command specifies a time delay that the node inserts between a session’s data that is being transmitted over a serial port and the next queued session’s data. The next session's data is not sent until the current session's data is sent and the inter-session-delay is reached.
10 ms
the time delay, in milliseconds, between a session’s data that is being transmitted over a serial port and the next queued session’s data
