Serial Port Variables

serial_baud

This variable sets the RSC serial port baud rate. Valid values are:

• 9600

• 19200

• 38400

• 57600

• 115200

The default setting is 9600. Changes to this variable take effect on the next login connection over the RSC serial port.

If you change the serial baud rate after configuring the serial port modem, you must reconfigure the modem; see "Modem Reconfiguration Required After Changing RSC Serial Port Settings".

serial_parity

This variable sets the RSC serial port parity; valid values are none, odd, or even. The default setting is none. Changes to this variable take effect on the next login connection over the RSC serial port.

If you change the serial parity setting after configuring the serial port modem, you must reconfigure the modem; see "Modem Reconfiguration Required After Changing RSC Serial Port Settings".

serial_stop

This variable sets the number of RSC stop bits; valid values are 1 or 2. The default setting is 1. Changes to this variable take effect on the next login connection over the RSC serial port.

If you change the serial stop bits setting after configuring the serial port modem, you must reconfigure the modem; see "Modem Reconfiguration Required After Changing RSC Serial Port Settings".

serial_data

This variable sets the number of RSC data bits; valid values are 7 and 8. The default setting is 8. Changes to this variable take effect on the next login connection over the RSC serial port.

If you change the serial data bits setting after configuring the serial port modem, you must reconfigure the modem; see "Modem Reconfiguration Required After Changing RSC Serial Port Settings".

serial_hw_handshake

This variable controls whether RSC uses hardware handshaking on the serial port. Valid values are true and false; the default setting is true. If set to true, hardware flow control and modem control are enabled. If set to false, RSC disconnects a session connected to the serial port after 10 minutes of inactivity.

ppp_local_ip_addr

Use this variable to specify the Internet protocol (IP) address for RSC to use during a PPP session; use standard dot notation. If this variable is empty, RSC expects the remote node to set the Internet address dynamically. The default setting is 0.0.0.0 (empty). Changes to this variable take effect on the next PPP connection over the RSC serial port.

ppp_remote_ip_addr

Use this variable to specify the IP address for the remote node during a PPP session; use standard dot notation. If this variable is empty, RSC expects that the remote node already has an Internet address assigned for the PPP session. The default setting is 0.0.0.0 (empty). Changes to this variable take effect on the next PPP connection over the RSC serial port.

ppp_enabled

Use this variable to specify whether PPP is the default protocol on the RSC serial port. Valid values are true or false; the default is false. Changes to this variable take effect on the next login connection over the RSC serial port.
