Hello,
I want to connect a VT520 terminal to p3 linux box.
I have two questions regarding the connection. First,
is it possible to use RJ45 instead of RS232
cable. (with DB9 pin to RJ45 and DB25 to RJ45 converter).
Second point is that; do i need null modem cable or
straight cable... (5 Replies)

Hi all,
Is there any difference between a null modem cable or a modem cable ?
i assume that a null modem cable is a normal cable that i used from cpu serial ports to a modem for dialup.
please correct if i am wrong,

termiox(7) Miscellaneous Information Manual termiox(7)
NAME
termiox - extended general terminal interface
SYNOPSIS
fildes, request, arg)
DESCRIPTION
The extended general terminal interface supplements the termio(7) general terminal interface by adding support for asynchronous hardware
flow control and local implementations of additional asynchronous features. Some systems may not support all of these capabilities because
of hardware or software limitations. Other systems may not permit certain functions to be disabled. In such cases, the appropriate bits
are ignored. If the capabilities can be supported, the interface described here must be used.
Hardware Flow Control Modes
Hardware flow control supplements the termio and character flow control (see termio(7)). Character flow control occurs when one device
controls the data transfer of another device by inserting control characters in the data stream between devices. Hardware flow control
occurs when one device controls the data transfer of another device by using electrical control signals on wires (circuits) of the asyn-
chronous interface. Character flow control and hardware flow control can be simultaneously set.
In asynchronous, full duplex applications, the use of the Electronics Industries Association's EIA-232-D Request To Send (RTS) and Clear To
Send (CTS) circuits is the preferred method of hardware flow control.
The EIA-232-D standard specified only unidirectional hardware flow control where the Data Circuit-terminating Equipment or Data Communica-
tions Equipment (DCE) indicates to the Data Terminal Equipment (DTE) to stop transmitting data. The termiox interface allows both unidi-
rectional and bidirectional hardware flow control; when bidirectional flow control is enabled, either the DCE or DTE can indicate to each
other to stop transmitting data across the interface.
Clock Modes
Isochronous flow control and clock mode communication are not supported.
Terminal Parameters
Parameters that control the behavior of devices providing the termiox interface are specified by the structure, defined in the header file.
Several system calls (see ioctl(5)) that fetch or change these parameters use the structure which contains the following members:
The field describes hardware flow control modes:
Enable RTS hardware flow control on input.
Enable CTS hardware flow control on input.
The RTS and CTS circuits are involved in establishing CCITT modem connections. Since RTS and CTS circuits are used both by CCITT modem
connections and by hardware flow control, CCITT modem and hardware flow control cannot be simultaneously enabled.
Variations of different hardware flow control methods can be selected by setting the appropriate bits. For example, bidirectional RTS/CTS
flow control is selected by setting both the and bits. Unidirectional CTS hardware flow control is selected by setting only the bit.
If is set, the Request to Send (RTS) circuit (line) is raised, and if the asynchronous port needs to have its input stopped, it lowers the
Request to Send (RTS) line. If the RTS line is lowered, it is assumed that the connected device will stop its output until RTS is raised.
If is set, output occurs only if the Clear To Send (CTS) circuit (line) is raised by the connected device. If the CTS line is lowered by
the connected device, output is suspended until CTS is raised.
termiox Structure Related IOCTL Command
The system calls that reference the structure have the form:
Commands using this form are:
The argument is a pointer to a
structure. The current terminal parameters are fetched and stored into that structure.
The argument is a pointer to a
structure. The current terminal parameters are set from the values stored in that structure. The change is immedi-
ate. Errors that can be returned include:
The port does not support hardware flow control.
The file descriptor for this port is configured for
CCITT mode access. Hardware flow control is not allowed on CCITT mode devices.
The argument is a pointer to a
structure. The current terminal parameters are set from the values stored in that structure. The change occurs
after all characters queued for output have been transmitted. This form should be used when changing parameters that
affect output. Errors that can be returned include:
The port does not support hardware flow control.
The file descriptor for this port is configured for
CCITT mode access. Hardware flow control is not allowed on CCITT mode devices.
The argument is a pointer to a
structure. The current terminal parameters are set from the values stored in that structure. The change occurs
after all characters queued for output have been transmitted; all characters queued for input are discarded, then the
change occurs. Errors that can be returned include:
The port does not support hardware flow control.
The file descriptor for this port is configured for
CCITT mode access. Hardware flow control is not allowed on CCITT mode devices.
