PortServer Native Terminal Configuration
PortServer Native Terminal Configuration Terminals are usually configured for software (Xon/Xoff) flow control. While the following procedure is sufficient for most cases, it may be necessary to take additional steps to properly configure your terminal or to set up the Portserver for a specific application.

The Cable

The recommended Terminal Cable is now shipped with the PortServer products. Otherwise you may use the Standard Terminal Cable as diagrammed in The Digi Standard Cable FAQ

Configuring The Portserver

from factory defaults:

Connect a terminal (set for 9600, 8-N-1, vt100 emulation) to a port on the portserver.
```
set conf ip=%%.%%.%%.%% subm=##.##.##.##   
set conf gateway=%%.%%.%%.%%
```
NOTE: %%.%%.%%.%% represent an actual IP Address. This must be a unique IP address available on your network. The ##.##.##.## represents the subnet mask setting for your network.

Configuring Ports for Autotelnet

Type the following from a PortServer root prompt:
#>set port range=#-# auto=on dev=term dest=[ip_of_destination]
#>set line range=#-# baud=[baud_rate]
#>set flow range=#-# ixon=on ixoff=on cts=off rts=off

Configuring Ports for rlogin

Type the following from a PortServer(II) root prompt:
#>set port range=#-# auto=on dev=term dest=[ip_of_destination] dport=513
#>set line range=#-# baud=[baud_rate]
#>set flow range=#-# ixon=on ixoff=on cts=off rts=off

NOTE: The range=#-# represents a port range. For example range=1-4 represents ports one through four.
