Netra j - Release 2.0 Product Notes

Setting JavaOS Properties

The name of the JavaStation serial port is now SerialA. This change affects the setting of the JavaOS property javaos.printservice.local.params.serial-port described under "Printing Properties."

javaos. printservice. local.params. serial-port

null 

The port portion of this property is the name of a serial port (which is always SerialA for the JavaStation). This property sets the communications parameters for the serial port. The syntax of the parameters is baud_rate:data_bits:stop_bit: parity: flow_control. For example: -djavaos.printservice.local.params. serial-SerialA=57600:8:1:none:hh

Valid values for each parameter are as follows: 

  • baud_rate: 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, 115200

  • data_bits: 5, 6, 7, 8

  • stop_bits: 1, 1.5, 2

  • parity: none, odd, even

  • flow_control: none, {s,h}{s,h} You can disable flow control by specifying none. Otherwise, specify an {input}{output} pair by selecting from Xon/Xoff (s) or RTS/CTS (h) for input and output.

The description of the property javaos.homedir under "General Properties" should be changed to the following:

javaos.homedir

null 

This property specifies the NFS path JavaOS should mount if NIS is not used to find the path based on the user name. The NFS path is specified as hostname:/path.

This property is most often used to determine the directory to use for the properties file that is read by HotJava at startup. If the javaos.login property is set to false, javaos.homedir is not used.
