h1. Menu Commands
Note that it is currently planned to completely replace the menu system for the next version of wconsd, so these commands will be changing.
h2. close
binary
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.
h2. close
close
If the serial port is current open, this command will close it and stop any serial communications.
h2. copyright
copyright
Print the copyright notice
h2. data
data *5|6|7|8*
Sets the number of data bits. This command will not have any affect until the port is closed and re-opened.
h2. help
Show some quick help for the menu commands
h2. keepalive
keepalive
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
h2. kill_conn
kill_conn *Connection ID*
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.
h2. open
open *[port number]*
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.
h2. parity
parity *no|even|odd|mark|space*
Set the serial parity. This command will not have any affect until the port is closed and re-opened.
h2. port
port *port number*
Set serial port number. This command will not have any affect until the port is closed and re-opened.
h2. quit
quit
Exit from this session
h2. show_conn_table
show_conn_table
Show the connections table. This table is mostly used for internal debugging information, however it contains the connection ID for all the current connections, which can be used with the *kill_conn* command
