-
-
- COMMAND
- auxout - send controlled strings to the serial port.
-
- FORMAT
- auxout [%Sn][%Cn][%Fn][<str>.][[%T<str>.|%U<str>.|%Dn|%Wc]...].
-
- DESCRIPTION
- pAuxoutq sends controlled sequences of strings to the serial
- port. Its primary purpose is to allow login handshaking with
- host machines. It may also be used to set modem parameters, and
- the ST serial port configuration.
-
- The command tail of pAuxoutq is a sequence of commands.
- Except in one case each command begins with '%'. Command
- types are described as follows.
-
- OPTIONS
- %S - sets the speed of the serial port.
- if n = 1,4,7 the speed is set to 9600, 2400, and
- 1200 baud, respectively.
-
- %C - sets the serial port configuration.
- if n = 0,1,2 the configuration is set to 1N8, 1E7,
- and 1E8, respectively.
-
- %F - sets the flow control.
- if n = 0,1,2 the flow is set to off,^S^Q, and
- CTS/RTS, respectively.
-
- %D - delays executing the next command for a specified time.
- if n = 1,2,3... the delay is about 1/2 sec.,
- 1 sec., 3/2 sec...
-
- %T - sends the string <str> to the modem where <str>
- is any ascii string. In <str>, the "~" character
- causes a blank to be sent. This is to allow auxout
- command tails in *.g files to be accepted by the gulam
- shell. The string to be sent must be terminated by a
- period '.' or else a much longer and crazy string will
- be sent.
-
- %U - like %T except that all lower case caracters in <str> are
- converted to upper case before being sent. Must also be
- terminated with a period '.'.
-
- %W - waits for the character c to be received by the serial
- port before the next command is executed. This command
- does not distinguish between upper case and lower case.
- Pressing <return> while waiting escapes from the entire
- command sequence.
-
- EXAMPLES
-
- auxout %C0.
-
- - sets the port configuration to 1N8.
-
- auxout %S1atf1.%Wk%Tat&M4dp3356221.%WQ%D1%Tfranco.%W:%Tpass.
-
- - sets the speed to 9600 baud, sets the modem to full duplex
- (Hayes commands), waits for the modem to respond with 'ok',
- dials the telephone number '3356221', waits for a response
- of 'Q' from the remote modem, waits 1/2 second, sends
- 'franco', waits for the password prompt ':', sends the
- password 'pass'.
-
- NOTES
-
- 1. The entire command tail must be terminated with a period.
- 2. The first <str> string that is transmitted is not preceeded
- by %T or %U. All following <str> strings are.
- 3. The first <str> string is transmitted as though preceeded
- by %T.
- 4. A newline character is automatically sent after each
- transmitted <str> string.
