- You can set protocol in one of two places: on a per-system basis
- in the Systems file after the device field (in your example, use "ACU,gf")
- or on a per-line basis in the Devices file (Ex. "ACU,gf tty01 ....")
- In either case, the supported protocols go after the device type, comma-
- separated. g-protocol is always assumed, so specifying it is optional.
-
- BTW, you may want to check your documentation as to whether or not
- f-protocol is supported in your implementation. Many don't have it.
