Port Commands Ports For more information about flow control command syntax, see Set/Define Port Flow Control on page 12-19. 5.1.2.3 Parity, Character Size, and Stop Bits The default character size of 8 data bits can be changed to 7 data bits. Similarly, the default stop bit count of 1 bit can be changed to 2 bits. Parity is normally None, but can also be Even, Mark, Odd, or Space.

Instead, they are associated with a virtual port, port 0, which serves for the duration of the connection. Each virtual port is created with a default set of characteristics. The Set/Define Port commands (starting with Define Port Access on page 12-15) can be used to customize a virtual port during the Telnet/Rlogin session; however, these customizations cannot be saved. The port reverts to the default set of characteristics once the session is closed. To make configurations that apply to all virtual ports (all future Telnet/Rlogin connections), use Define Port commands and specify zero as the port number. All port settings can be configured for virtual ports except those that don't make sense for virtual ports, (i.e., DSRLogout, DTRWait). For example, the command in Figure 5-9 makes all ports process the Break key locally rather than passing it on to the remote service.

Use the List Port command to view virtual port characteristics. 5-4
