set-port command

The term set-port BASIC program displays or changes the communication speed and protocol for a specified port or displays the current setting if none of the communication parameters are specified.

Syntax

set-port [tty|port.number]{,baud,parity,stop.bits,word.length} {(options}

Synonym(s)

status-port
set.port

Parameter(s)

`tty`	Device name where the process is connected. For UNIX: The `tty` parameter is supported by UNIX only. For Windows: Not Supported.
`port.number`	Serial port number to change. The current port can be specified by specifying port -1.
`baud`	Baud rate—Legal baud rates are: 110, 150, 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, and 19200.
`parity`	n or 0 for no parity o or 1 for odd parity e or 2 for even parity m for mark parity s for space parity
`stop.bit`	Number of stop bits—Valid numbers are 1 or 2.
`word.length`	Data length—Valid numbers are 7 or 8.
`options`	i	Updates devs,init as well as the pick_term file.
	q	Suppresses the display of the current set-port settings.

If no options are entered, the current port settings display. If any option is entered, then all options must be entered.

Example(s)

set-port
Line number   :  1
Baud rate     :  0
Parity        :  None
Stop bits     :  0
Word length   :  0

D3 UNIX Systems

The port can be specified either by its serial port number, or by a device name (for example, /dev/tty03), in which case the port does not have to be connected to the D3 virtual machine. /dev/ can be omitted. This command is provided for compatibility with non-UNIX implementations.

If no UNIX process is connected to the device, set-port displays:

Process not connected

In this case, the device is probably not initialized properly or not connected to a physical terminal.
