Connected to
The type of device connected to the device port. Currently, the SLC unit supports
Remote Power Managers (PDUs and UPSes) from 140+ vendors, as well as
Sensorsoft devices. If the connected device is an RPM, the user can assign an
RPM to the device port by either select an existing RPM (via the
Select
dropdown)
or clicking the
Add RPM
link to configure a new RPM for the SLC. If an RPM is
already assigned to the device port, the user can click on the
Selected RPM
link to
view status and configuration for the RPM. If the connected device is a Sensorsoft
device, the user can click on
Device Commands
to manage the Sensorsoft
device. If the type of device connected to the device port is not listed, select
Undefined
.
Note:
Sensorsoft temperature/humidity devices are supported with USB-to-serial
adapters (ftdi/pl2303/cp210x) but are not supported for use with USB-to-Serial
CDC_ACM devices.
Telnet In
Enables access to this port through Telnet. Disabled by default.
SSH In
Enables access to this port through SSH. Disabled by default.
TCP in
Enables access to this port through a raw TCP connection. Disabled by default:
Note:
When using raw TCP connections to transmit binary data, or where the
break command (escape sequence) is not required, set the
Break Sequence
of
the respective device port to null (clear it).
Port
Automatically assigned Telnet, SSH, and TCP port numbers. You may override
this value, if desired. The value must be unique on the SLC 8000; for example,
you cannot have two or more ports numbered 10001.
Authentication
If selected, the SLC unit requires user authentication before granting access to
the port.
Authenticate
is selected by default for
Telnet
in and
SSH in
, but not for

Timeout
Select the checkbox to cause an idle Telnet, SSH or TCP connection to
disconnect after a specified number of seconds as defined in the Seconds field to
the right.
Seconds
Enter a value from 1 to 3600 seconds if selecting the Telnet, SSH or TCP
Timeout checkbox to the left. The default is 600 seconds.
Note:
When the Idle Timeout Msg is enabled, the terminal application timeout
values for Telnet, SSH and TCP should be set to a value greater than 15
seconds.
Data Direction
If a Telnet, SSH or TCP connection has the idle
Timeout
enabled, this setting
indicates the direction of data use to determine if the connection has timed out:
incoming network data, outgoing network data, or data from both directions. The
default is
Both Directions
for
Telnet
and
SSH
, and
Incoming Network
data for
TCP
.
Telnet Soft IAC Mode
When Telnet Soft IAC mode is enabled, the Telnet server will not block waiting
for the initial Telnet protocol IAC option responses. An abbreviated list of IAC
options will be sent to the client, including a request for client side Echoing.
Disabled by default.
