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 |
|
|
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.

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.
