# Menu Commands
2 1 Hamish
3 4 Hamish
Note that it is currently planned to completely replace the menu system for the next version of wconsd, so these commands will be changing.

## binary
6 1 Hamish
7 10 Hamish
    binary
8 6 Hamish
9
This command toggles the state of the binary mode.  Binary mode is required for correct use of file transfer protocols, such as *xmodem*.  This mode will be automatically turned on by some telnet clients (if they send the telnet option DO BINARY TRANSMISSION) in which case it may need to be manually turned off using this command.

## close
12 6 Hamish
13 10 Hamish
    close
14 1 Hamish
15 4 Hamish
If the serial port is current open, this command will close it and stop any serial communications.

## data
24 3 Hamish
25 10 Hamish
    data *5|6|7|8*
26 1 Hamish
27 4 Hamish
Sets the number of data bits.  This command will not have any affect until the port is closed and re-opened.
28 3 Hamish
29 9 Hamish
## help
30 1 Hamish
31 3 Hamish
Show some quick help for the menu commands
32 1 Hamish

## keepalive
34 5 Hamish
35 10 Hamish
    keepalive
36 5 Hamish
37
Toggles the state of Telnet keepalives.  If keepalives are turned on, then a Telnet Keepalive option is sent approximately once every two seconds.  This will create significantly more network traffic than normal, but will help to avoid sessions being terminated unexpectedly
38
39 9 Hamish
## kill_conn
40 1 Hamish
41 10 Hamish
    kill_conn *Connection ID*
42 1 Hamish
43 4 Hamish
Stop a given connection's serial communications.  This will close the serial port being used by the given *connection ID* and thus allow someone else to open that port.  This command can be used when an existing session has crashed, or if someone else has logged in and is blocking your work.  Since there is no authentication, this command is obviously open to abuse.
44 1 Hamish
45 9 Hamish
## open
46 1 Hamish
47 10 Hamish
    open *[port number]*
48 1 Hamish
49 4 Hamish
Connect or resume communications with a serial port.  If no port number is specified then the current default port number is used.  If an serial port is already open, this will just resume communication with that port.
50 1 Hamish

## parity
52 1 Hamish
53 10 Hamish
    parity *no|even|odd|mark|space*
54 3 Hamish

Set the serial parity.  This command will not have any affect until the port is closed and re-opened.

## port
58 1 Hamish
59 10 Hamish
    port *port number*
60 1 Hamish

71 10 Hamish
    show_conn_table
72 1 Hamish
