The speed command must be set to a value that supports raw sockets; see Serial interface configuration commands for the required information.
socket
config>port>serial>rs232
This command creates a raw socket on an RS-232 port.
The no form of the command deletes the socket from the serial port.
n/a
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 raw socket.
An EOP is declared by whichever EOP condition is encountered first.
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 raw socket.
50 ms
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 a 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 EOP and triggers the node to encapsulate previously received queued characters in an IP transport packet and send it over a 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
