slattconf(1M)                                       slattconf(1M)



NAME
     slattconf - attaches a serial line to  a  network  interface
     and configures the network interface

SYNOPSIS
     slattconf [+c] [-c] [+e] [-e] [+i] [-i] tty baud-rate
     client-address cslip-server-address [ifconfig-argument]...

ARGUMENTS
     baud-rate
          Specifies the baud rate of the connection, which must
          match the baud rate of the connection to the Compressed
          Serial Line/Internet Protocol (CSL/IP) server.  See
          termio(7) for valid baud rates.

     +c   Enables transmission of compressed packets. Use this
          option if you are connecting to any SL/IP server that
          supports compression, such as the A/UX 3.0 CSL/IP
          server.

     -c   Disables transmission of compressed packets. This
          option is the default and is useful in subsequent
          invocations of slattconf.

     client-address
          Specifies the address of the CSL/IP point-to-point line
          on the client system as returned by an earlier
          invocation of the slip command on the CSL/IP server.
          This argument is passed to ifconfig, which is invoked
          by slattconf.

     +e   Enables transmission of compressed packets if
          compressed packets are received.  This is the default
          and is useful in subsequent invocations of slattconf.

     -e   Disables transmission of compressed packets if
          compressed packets are received.

     +i   Enables transmission of Internet Control Message
          Protocol (ICMP) packets. This is the default and is
          useful in subsequent invocations of slattconf.

     -i   Disables transmission of ICMP packets.

     ifconfig-argument...
          Specifies an argument that slattconf passes to
          ifconfig.  See ifconfig(1M) for details.

     cslip-server-address
          Specifies the address of the point-to-point line on the
          CSL/IP server as returned by an earlier invocation of
          the slip command on the CSL/IP server. This argument is

slattconf(1M)                                       slattconf(1M)



          passed to ifconfig, which is invoked by slattconf.

     tty  Specifies the name of a serial port on the client
          system. The tty argument has the form ttyXX or
          /dev/ttyXX, where XX is the serial port number.

DESCRIPTION
     slattconf attaches a serial line to a Compressed Serial
     Line/Internet Protocol (CSL/IP) network interface and
     configures the network interface by defining the network
     client and CSL/IP server addresses. You can run this command
     on the client system after you have successfully run the
     slip command on the CSL/IP server. Alternatively, you can
     run the slattach command.

     To stop the slattconf process, disconnect the serial line or
     kill slattconf.

     Note that slattconf does not prevent you from specifying an
     unworkable combination of the +c, -c, +e, -e, +i, and -i
     options, such as +c and -e.  In addition, slattconf does not
     prevent you from entering the same option twice, such as +c
     and -c.  The option entered last takes effect.

EXAMPLES
     The following command attaches and configures /dev/tty0 to
     the CSL/IP network interface at 9600 baud, using a
     client-address and CSL/IP-server-address of joe-slip and
     paris-slip, respectively:

        slattconf tty0 4800 joe-slip paris-slip netmask 0xffffff00

     Note the use of the netmask 0xffffff00 argument, which is
     passed to ifconfig.  The client and server must use the same
     netmask.

STATUS MESSAGES AND VALUES
     When successful, the slattconf command prints this message,
     where XX is the CSL/IP interface unit number:

        slX

     For A/UX systems, X is 0 or 1.

     When unsuccessful, the slattconf command prints any of these
     messages:

          unknown speed
               You have specified an invalid baud rate.

          /dev/ttyXX: No such file or directory
               You have specified a value for tty that does not
