Serial Port Profiles
Authenticate User
Enables/disables login/password authentication for users connecting from the
network.
Default:
Disabled
Enable TCP Keep
Alive
Enables a per-connection TCP keepalive feature. This feature when enabled,
periodically checks if the TCP connection is still active. The period is
configurable on a global basis for the Terminal Server. If the connection is no
longer active, the Terminal Server will cleanly terminate the session at its end.
This parameter needs to be used in conjunction with
Monitor Connection
Status Interval
parameter found in the
Serial
,
Advanced
,
Advanced Settings
tab. The interval determines how long the Terminal Server will wait during
inactivity before "testing" the connection. It should be noted that if a network
connection is accidentally dropped, it can take as long as the specified interval
before anyone can reconnect to the serial port.
Default:
Disabled
Enable Message of
the Day (MOTD)
Enables/disables the display of the message of the day.
Default:
Disabled
Multisessions
The number of extra network connections available on a serial port (available
only on 2 port+ models), in addition to the single session that is always
available. Enabling multisessions will permit multiple users to monitor the
same console port. Each user monitoring the port can be assigned different
privileges to this port.
Data Range:
0-7 multisessions per serial port
Default:
0
Idle Timeout
Use this timer to close a connection because of inactivity. When the
Idle
Timeout
expires, the Terminal Server will end the connection.
Default:
0
seconds so the port will never timeout
Range:
0-4294967 seconds (about 49 days)
Break Handling
Specifies how a break is interpreted.
Data Range:
z
None
—The Terminal Server ignores the break key completely and it is not
passed through to the host.
z
Local
—The Terminal Server deals with the break locally. If the user is in
a session, the break key has the same effect as a hot key.
z
Remote
—When the break key is pressed, the Terminal Server translates
this into a telnet break signal which it sends to the host machine.
z
Break Interrupt
—On some systems such as SunOS, XENIX, and AIX, a
break received from the peripheral is not passed to the client properly. If
the client wishes to make the break act like an interrupt key (for example,
when the stty options
-ignbrk
and
brkintr
are set).
Default:
None
Dial In
If the console port is remote and will be dialing in via modem or ISDN TA,
enable this parameter.
Default:
Disabled
Dial Out
If you want the modem to dial a number when the serial port is started, enable
this parameter.
Default:
Disabled
