Line Commands
Options
break
Specifies how a break is interpreted:
z
off—The IOLAN ignores the break key completely and it is not passed through to 
the host. This is the default setting.
z
local—The IOLAN deals with the break locally. If the user is in a session, the 
break key has the same effect as a hot key.
z
remote—When the break key is pressed, the IOLAN translates this into a telnet 
break signal which it sends to the host machine.
z
break-interrupt—On some systems such as SunOS, XENIX, and AIX, a break 
received from the peripheral is not passed to the client properly. If the client wishes 
to make the break act like an interrupt key (for example, when the stty options 
-ignbrk
 and 
brkintr
 are set).
break-length
The length of time (in milliseconds) for which the break signal will be asserted on the se-
rial  port.  Valid values are 0-65535.
Default is 1000 ms
A value of 0 will cause the "request to send a break signal" to be ignored.
break-delay
The length of time (in milliseconds) to delay after a break signal is sent before the IOLAN 
sends data. Valid values are 0-65535.
Default: 0 ms ( no delay )
connection-method
Determines how a modem will work on the line. Select from the following options:
z
Direct Connect—Indicates that there is not a modem on the line. This is the 
default.
z
Dial In—Specify this option when a user is remote and will be dialing in via 
modem or ISDN TA.
z
Dial Out—Specify this option when a modem is attached to the serial port and is 
being used to dial out.
z
Dial In/Out—Specify this option when the IOLAN is being used as a router 
(depending on which end of the link your IOLAN is situated and how you want to 
initiate the communication).
data-bits
Specifies the number of bits in a byte. The default is 
8
.
dial-timeout
The number of seconds the IOLAN will wait to establish a connection to a remote 
modem. The default value is 
45
 seconds.
dial-retries
The number of times the IOLAN will attempt to establish a connection with a remote 
modem. The default value is 
2
