managing and relate to the RPORT module itself.
Remote Login via SSH
You can also use a standard SSH client to access the R-Port options if
you wish to avoid using the Java-based SSH client in the Web interface.
Simply use your SSH client (several freeware packages are available for
download, along with commercial applications) and connect to the IP ad-
dress of the CABCONS1716I using port 22 (default).
Log in to the SSH session as admin using the same password as the
Web interface. At the command prompt type connect x (where x is the
number of the R-Port devices you wish to manage). Alternatively, you can
enter the command connect -l to see a list of active devices.
Operating Notes:
If the power supply to the R-Port modules you have connected be s
comes faulty (short, overload) then the R-Port LED on the front panel
of the CABCONS1716I will show red.
Under normal operations, this light should remain green. The R-Port s
connector on the rear panel also has an LED that mirrors the status of
the light on the front panel.
Hardware handshaking (CTS/RTS) is required for speeds exceeding s
9600 bps. It is enabled by default on the CABCONS1716I, but may
need to be enabled on the other end of the connection. For Unix
systems, the command is:
stty –crtscts < /dev/[serial port]
A maximum of four users may simultaneously login to the same s
