WSIRIS(1)  —  Silicon Graphics

NAME

wsiris − emulate an IRIS terminal with a workstation

SYNOPSIS

wsiris [ −hnrs ] hostname

DESCRIPTION

Wsiris allows a Workstation to emulate an IRIS terminal communicating over XNS.  The actual connection (as opposed to the one emulated) may be either via XNS or over a serial line running at 1200 or 9600 baud. 

When connecting via XNS, hostname should be the name of the system to connect to (set by hostname prior to invoking xnsd on the host system).  When connecting via a serial line, hostname should be the word “serial”. 

The options are:

−hHalf duplex line.  −nThe terminal will not send X-on/X-off commands to the host.  −rConvert NL to CR for VMS connections.  −sSlow speed (1200 baud). Usable on serial connections only. 

The serial connection uses port 3, which is /dev/ttyd2.  To exit wsiris, type:
 

~.
