Book C-63Chapter 2 Configuration ParametersRemote Annex Administrator’s Guide for UNIXBook CnThese setting are required because the timer does not start until one ofthe following events occur:1. Input occurs and input_is_activity is set to Y.2. Output occurs and output_is_activity is set to Y.3. A port with type set to dial_in starts (regardless of the value ofthe control_lines parameter).inet_addrThis Annex parameter defines the Annex’s IP address. This 32-bit addresscontains four 8-bit fields separated by periods. Each field contains anumber ranging from 0 to 255 or a hexadecimal number. The IP addressalways displays in decimal notation. This parameter has no default.input_flow_controlThis asynchronous port parameter specifies the method of flow controlfor input received from a device connected to an asynchronous port.Table C-23 describes the valid options; the default is bell.Table C-23. Valid Options for the input_flow_control ParameterOption Descriptionbell The Annex rings the terminal bell (sends ^G) when its inputbuffer is full.eia Flow control is delegated to a lower level (e.g., a parallel port).The control_lines parameter must be set to flow control orboth, and the device must be wired appropriately.start/stop Designates flow control by recognizing xon and xoffcharacters. This action is independent of the control_linesparameter setting.none Disables flow control; characters are lost if the buffersoverflow.
