* COMMANDS FOR SETTING COMMUNICATION PARAMETERS
SET COM1
[ ]
Tell Kermit the hardware address of COM1, which must be an NSC 8250,
16550A, or compatible UART, and, optionally, that its interrupt request
(IRQ) line number is . Also SET COM2, SET COM3, SET COM4. Give this
command BEFORE the corresponding SET PORT command.
SET PORT {COM1, COM2, COM3, COM4} = COM1
Select a communication device (SET PORT ? for list of available devices,
see below for local area nets). You can also say SET PORT 1, SET PORT 2,
etc. Port must be real 8250 or 16550A UART, or device that perfectly
emulates them. If not, Kermit will use BIOS rather than direct
hardware control.
SET PORT {BIOS1, BIOS2, BIOS3, BIOS4}
Use BIOS-level driver for COM1, COM2, COM3, or COM4, etc, rather than
Kermit's own built-in hardware driver. Allows Kermit to be used with BIOS
itself, BIOS Int 14H interceptors (on LANs, for example), nonstandard
devices, etc.
SET PORT - See section on Local Area Networks.
SET SPEED
Communications port line speed: 1200, 2400, 9600, etc. SET SPEED ? for list.
75/1200 is "split speed" (75 out, 1200 in). Applies to currently selected
serial port (COM1-COM4), or to EBIOS connections. Ignored for other SET
PORT options.
SET PARITY {EVEN, ODD, MARK, SPACE, NONE} = NONE
Character parity to use during communication.
SET DISPLAY { 7, 8 } = 7
Synonym for SET TERMINAL BYTESIZE { 7, 8 }
SET DUPLEX {FULL, HALF} = FULL
Select full or half duplex communication.
FULL = remote echo. HALF = local echo plus RTS/CTS hardware handshake.
SET HANDSHAKE {NONE, XON, CR, LF, CODE } = NONE
Half-duplex line turnaround character (XON is most common). Only affects
file transfer.
SET FLOW-CONTROL {XON/XOFF, RTS/CTS, NONE} = XON/XOFF
Select a full-duplex bidirectional flow-control method.
In addition XON/XOFF can be enabled in one direction only:
SET FLOW {INCOMING-XON/XOFF, OUTGOINGING-XON/XOFF}
.
