Using XRemote—Direct Serial Connection

— Disable XON/XOFF flow control for the modem.
If you want to use flow control, enable hardware
flow control using RTS/CTS.
— Be sure that the modem is configured for 8 data
bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity.
Type the modem command for saving parameters in
the modem’s NVRAM so that you don’t have to
re-enter the configuration commands each time you
use XRemote.

Using XRemote—Direct Serial Connection
This section provides procedures for using XRemote on a
direct serial connection. A serial cable extends directly
from the terminal to a local host computer or to a terminal
server or switch box connected to a host computer.
Your system administrator may set up XRemote to
connect in a different way than is described here. Ask your
system administrator if you need help connecting over
XRemote.
Deciding Which Protocol to Use
You can run XRemote over a direct serial connection in
two ways:
❏ Using PPP or SLIP. If you are using this method,
follow the procedures in “Using XRemote—Direct
Serial Connection with PPP or SLIP Protocol” on
page 12-17.
See the NCDware System Administrator’s Guide for a
comparison of XRemote, PPP, and SLIP protocols.
❏ Using the XRemote proprietary protocol over a serial
connection. If you are using this method, follow the
procedures in “Using XRemote—Direct Serial
Connection with the Proprietary XRemote Protocol”
on page 12-19.
