SCS commands

  • connecting to a server in interactive mode: connect server_name
  • connecting to a server in monitor mode: monitor server_name
  • escape interactive mode: Esc + A (uppercase)
  • sending a break: Esc + B (uppercase)
  • symlinks to the serial ports and their buffers: /lsi/ports
  • save saves configuration changes to non-volatile memory
  • lsp lists the serial ports and their names
  • lsc lists active connections
  • stty configures serial port parameters, but to make the changes permanent, /etc/rc.d/rc.serial must be edited
  • to rename a port: stty -F /lsi/ports/port23 --name=zwinger
  • to clear a port buffer: stty --clear -F /lsi/ports/buf_name
  • read chapter 9 of the manual (linked below) for more

The port connectors are in four chunks of 8 ports, upper and lower rows of four. In each chunk the bottom four ports are labelled 1-4 and top 5-8. Leftmost chunk is ports 1-8, then 9-16, 17-24 and 25-32:

5/5 6/6 7/7 8/8  5/13 6/14 7/15 8/16  5/21 6/22 7/23 8/24  5/29 6/30 7/31 8/32
