Script Command: CONNECT

CONNECT {backend_connection_type | close} [connection-specific-arguments]...

This command allows a script to configure/reconfigure the backend connection.

Valid backend connection types are: comport, telnet and plink

comport connection-specific-arguments:

{port #} {baud} [bytesize (def=8)] [parity (def=NONE)] [stopbits (def=1)] [flowctrl (def=NONE)]

Note that a comport number of "NONE" is valid and taken to mean that the user wishes to disconnect uCon from any backend. In this case, the specified baudrate is just ignored (but must be present).

Typical baud settings:110, 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 14400, 19200, 38400, 57600, 115200

Valid parity settings:NONE, EVEN, ODD, MARK, SPACE

Valid stopbit settings:1, 1.5, 2

Valid flowctrl settings:NONE, DTRDSR, RTSCTS, XONXOFF

Examples:

CONNECT comport 1 38400

CONNECT comport NONE 38400

CONNECT comport 2 9600 8 NONE 1 NONE

telnet connection-specific-arguments:

IP/name<}> [port #]

(default: port 23)

plink connection-specific-arguments:

string passed to plink

typically formatted as user@sysname (i.e. esutter@system.lucent.com)

close

No arguments, just close whatever connection was previously opened.
