NPort 6000 Series
Configuring Serial Port Operation Modes
7-20
Primary and Secondary host address: If specified, the fields designate permanent hosts to which the
terminal will always be connected.
Telnet TCP port (default=23): By default, the Telnet TCP port number is set to 23, which is the default TCP
port number for Telnet.
Terminal type (default=ansi): Some older terminal applications may require that the terminal type be
transmitted before the connection can be established. You may need to refer to the server’s documentation to
determine the appropriate terminal type. For most applications, this setting will be unnecessary and will have
no effect
Max. Sessions (default=4): This setting allows you to configure the maximum. number of sessions allowed
for the serial port.
Change Session (default=(^T)0x14): This field defines the quick key to change a session.
Quit (default=(^E)0x05): This field defines the quick key to quit a session.
Break: This field defines the quick key to send a break signal.
Interrupt: This field defines the quick key for program termination.
Auto-login prompt (default=ogin:)
Password prompt (default=password:)
Login user name: Enter the terminal login ID here.
Login password: Enter the password for the terminal login here.
Terminal BIN (TERM_BIN)
Terminal Binary mode can be used to transfer files with XMODEM or ZMODEM. You are only allowed to open one
terminal session at a time when in Terminal Binary mode.
TCP alive check time (default=7 min): This field specifies how long the NPort 6000 will wait for a response
to “keep alive” packets before closing the TCP connection. The NPort 6000 checks connection status by sending
periodic “keep alive” packets. If the remote host does not respond to the packet within the time specified in this
field, the NPort 6000 will force the existing TCP connection to close. For socket and device control modes, the
NPort 6000 will listen for another TCP connection from another host after closing the connection. If TCP alive
check time is set to 0, the TCP connection will remain open even if there is no response to the “keep alive”
packets.
