SSTTY(8)		  BSD System Manager's Manual		      SSTTY(8)

NAME
     sstty - Equinox SuperSerial Technology sstty utility

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/sbin/sstty

DESCRIPTION
     Sstty gets Equinox specific information about a device or set flags that
     can be selectively turned on or off, in a manner similar to the standard
     UNIX stty command.

     To see a complete list of options available with the command, enter sstty
     without options.  This entry lists the correct usage and options avail-
     able for the sstty command.  The commands are: sstty -a  reports current
     settings of sstty options

     sstty -c  display Equinox SST configuration

     sstty dtr [0,1]	 force DTR (1 = on, 0 = off)

     sstty [+ - ] fb	 permit FoxBase+ to operate without requiring hardware
		  flow control

     sstty -i  display ISA memory hole status table

     sstty [+ - ] lb	 initiates a hardware (physical) port loopback

     sstty [+ - ] lck	 lock/unlock port stty settings

     sstty [+ - ]li, lo	 force/prevent use of line discipline processing

     sstty[+ - ] lp printer port, force open, do not close

     sstty -m  display port modem signals

     sstty [+ - ] pc permits WordPerfect 5.0 to operate without requiring
		  hardware flow control

     sstty +rs resume output on a flow-controlled port

     sstty -s	     display status of port tty [1a0- 8hf]

     The sstty -a command, similar to the stty -a command, reports the set-
     tings of the sstty options.  The output is similar to the following, de-
     pending on how a particular system is set up: -ixon -ixany -fb -lp -li
     -lo -cts -rts -pc -xprn -lb  -xon -sscrn -lck -hs

     The sstty -c command displays the Equinox SST hardware configuration.  It
     identifies the logical adapter card number(s), the slot(s) or I/O ad-
     dress(es), and the adapter card type(s) for all adapter cards that are
     installed and configured.

     The sstty +li command turns on standard line discipline processing on in-
     put.

     The user can force the DTR control signal high using this sstty flag.
     Setting this parameter (sstty dtr 1) forces DTR to be true regardless of
     the application. Use sstty dtr 0 to return normal operation of the DTR
     control signal.

     The sstty +lb flag is a diagnostic tool used to initiate physical hard-
     wire loopback designed for testing wiring.	 Redirecting the sstty +lb
     command to a terminal, places the SST port in loopback mode.  This is a
     good test for the wiring and hardware because characters typed at the
     terminal are echoed back to the terminal.	If no characters are displayed
     at the terminal, this may indicate a wiring problem. To return the termi-
     nal to normal mode, enter sstty -lb. Do not enter the sstty +lb command
     from a terminal.  The terminal is placed in loopback mode and no more
     commands can be entered! Powering the terminal off and on does not help.
     Always redirect the sstty +lb command from the console to the port to be
     tested.

     Entering sstty +lck locks a port's parameters (speed, character size,
     etc.).  After this command is entered any stty changes to the port will
     be ignored.  To return a port to normal operation enter sstty +lck. The
     device driver bypasses standard line discipline processing wherever pos-
     sible for enhanced performance.
