DKCONFIG(8)						      System Manager's Manual						       DKCONFIG(8)

NAME
       dkconfig - configure Datakit interface

SYNOPSIS
       dkconfig [ -d dev ] [ -n netname ] [ -c csc nlines ] [ -b baud ] [ -w window ] [ -ai ]

DESCRIPTION
       Dkconfig configures the device dev (default #h) as a Datakit link and gives it kernel id netname (default dk).  Any subsequent reference to
       the device #kname and its subdirectories refers to conversations multiplexed on this link.

       As a convenience, dkconfig performs a

	      bind("#kname", "/net", MBEFORE)

       to make the dk device available to dial(2).

       Option -c allows the common signaling channel, csc, and the number of Datakit lines, nlines, to be specified.

       Option -w sets the window size to window, a decimal number of bytes.  This is most important on the PC's Incon interface,  which  overflows
       if the window size is greater than 256.

       Option -i causes an Incon device (default #i) to be configured as the Datakit connection.

       Option  -a causes the a serial line (default /dev/eia0) to be configured as the Datakit connection.  The async line protocol is pushed onto
       the serial line's stream to provide a multiplexed connection.
