NAME
      conflgs - change and display console flags

SYNOPSIS
      /etc/conflgs [-a 0|1] [-c 0|1] [-m 0|1] [-r 0|1] [-b baud] or
      /etc/conflgs [-c 0|1] [-m 0|1]

DESCRIPTION
      conflgs allows the remote console and console flags to be set and
      displayed.  It can be used to enable or disable the remote console
      capability.  conflgs  allows console redirection (diagnostics and
      bootstrap input/output) to the second serial port to be enabled or
      disabled.  Note that conflgs does not control what device is used as
      console - this is determined by whether or not the system is equipped
      with an integral console and by the COM2CONS tunable parameter.  The
      console message flag and remote console message flag, which determine
      whether or not system error messages are directed to the console or
      remote console, can also be temporarily changed with conflgs.

      -a 0|1  disable (0) or enable (1) diagnostics and bootstrap redirection
              to the second serial port.  If enabled and the second serial port
              is used as the console, the baud rate specified with the -b
              option determines the baud rate used for the console.  If the
              second serial port is used as the console but console redirection
              to the second serial port is disabled, the console baud rate is
              9600.

      -r 0|1  disable (0) or enable (1) the remote console feature.  This
              controls console redirection to the first serial port and sets
              the remote console enable flag (RCEF).  The baud rate specified
              with the -b option determines the baud rate used for the remote
              console.

      -c 0|1  disable (0) or enable (1) sending system error messages to the
              console.  This change only lasts until the system is rebooted.
              To permanently have system error messages directed to the
              console, change the CMF tunable parameter.

      -m 0|1  disable (0) or enable (1) sending system error messages to the
              remote console.  This change only lasts until the system is
              rebooted.  The RCEF must be turned on before this flag for
              console messages to be seen on the remote console.  On some
              systems,  the RCEF is considered on and the remote console baud
              rate is fixed at 1200.  To permanently have system error messages
              directed to the remote console, change the RCMF tunable
              parameter.

      If the -a and/or -r option is used, the -b baud option can be used to set
      the baud rate of the first or second serial port to baud.  baud can be
      1200 or 9600.  If the -b option is not specified when enabling console
      redirection to the first or second serial port a default baud rate of
      1200 is used.  The baud rate specifies the baud rate to be used during


10/89                                                                    Page 1

      diagnostics, bootstrap, and system initialization - until the multi-user
      state is reached.  It does not take effect until the next system reboot
      or init S.

      The -a -r, and -b options may or or may not be provided on all 386
      machines.

      The values of all the console flags are always displayed after the
      requested changes are made.

      Note that the BIOS setup utility can also be used to change the whether
      or not console redirection to the first or second serial ports is enabled
      and their baud rates.
