+#
+# This is a minimal example configuration file for ser2net. For a version with
+# detailed comments and all possible configuration directives, please visit:
+# https://github.com/cminyard/ser2net/blob/master/ser2net.conf
+#
+# On OpenWrt/LEDE systems, this configuration serves as a base configuration.
+# During boot of the system, the UCI configuration file /etc/config/ser2net is
+# parsed and converted to additional configuration lines which are _appended_
+# to this file. The ser2net daemon is then started with the combined
+# configuration file /tmp/ser2net.conf.
+#
+# A basic service configuration line has the following format:
+# <network port>:<state>:<timeout>:<device>:<options>
+#	network port
+#		Name or number of the port to accept connections
+#		from for this device.  A port number may be of the form
+#		[ipv4,|ipv6,][tcp,|udp,][host,]port, such as
+#		127.0.0.1,2000 or ipv4,tcp,localhost,2000.  If the host is
+#		specified, it will only bind to the IP address
+#		specified. Otherwise it will bind to all the ports on the
+#		machine.  If ipv4 or ipv6 is specified, it will only bind
+#		to that network type.
+#
+#	state
+#		Either raw or rawlp or telnet or off.  off disables
+#		the  port  from  accepting  connections.  It can be
+#		turned on later from the control port.  raw enables
+#		the port and  transfers  all data as-is between the
+#		port  and  the long.  rawlp  enables  the port  and
+#		transfers  all input data to device, device is open
+#		without  any  termios  setting.  It  allow  to  use
+#		/dev/lpX  devices  and  printers connected to them.
+#		telnet enables the port and runs the telnet  proto-
+#		col  on the port to set up telnet parameters.  This
+#		is most useful for using telnet.
+#
+#	timeout
+#		The time (in seconds) before the port will be  dis-
+#		connected  if  there  is no activity on it.  A zero
+#		value disables this function.
+#
+#	device
+#		The  name  of  the  device   to  connect  to.  This
+#		must be in the form of /dev/<device>.
+#
+#	options
+#		Sets  operational  parameters  for the serial port.
+#		For a serial device (not IPMI SOL):
+#		Options 300, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400,
+#		57600, 115200 set the various baud rates.  EVEN,
+#		ODD, NONE (MARK and SPACE if supported) set the parity.
+#		Note that MARK and SPACE are not available on all systems
+#		or hardware, if it is not supported then it will be
+#		silently set to ODD or EVEN parity.
+#		1STOPBIT, 2STOPBITS set
+#		the number of stop bits.  5DATABITS, 6DATABITS,
+#		7DATABITS, 8DATABITS set the number of data bits.
+#		[-]XONXOFF turns on (- off) XON/XOFF support.
+#		[-]RTSCTS turns on (- off) hardware flow control,
+#		[-]LOCAL turns off (- on) monitoring of the modem lines,
+#		and [-]HANGUP_WHEN_DONE turns on (- off) lowering the
+#		modem control lines when the connection is done.
+#		[-]NOBREAK disables automatic setting of the break
+#		setting of the serial port.
+#
+#		The "[-]remctl" option allow remote control (ala RFC
+#		2217) of serial-port configuration.
+#
+# Example:
+# 5000:telnet:0:/dev/ttyAPP0:115200 8DATABITS NONE 1STOPBIT -XONXOFF -LOCAL -RTSCTS remctl
