8: Terminal and Host Settings
Predefined connections are available via Telnet, SSH, or a serial port. A user can choose one of
the presented options and the device automatically makes the predefined connection.
Either the Telnet, SSH, or serial port connection can present the CLI or the Login Connect Menu.
By default, the CLI is presented when the device is accessed. When configured to present the
Login Connect Menu, the hosts configured via the Host selections, and named serial lines are
presented.
Terminal Settings
You can configure whether each serial line or the Telnet/SSH server presents a CLI or a Login
Connect menu when a connection is made.

Description
Terminal Type
Enter text to describe the type of terminal. The text will be sent to a host via IAC.
Note:
IAC means, “interpret as command.” It is a way to send commands over
the network such as
send break
or
start echoing
. IAC is only supported in
Telnet.
Login Connect Menu
Select the interface to display when the user logs in. Choices are:
Enabled
= shows the Login Connect Menu.
Disabled
= shows the CLI (default)
Exit Connect Menu
Select whether to display a choice for the user to exit the Login Connect Menu
and reach the CLI. Choices are:
Enabled
= a choice allows the user to exit to the CLI.
Disabled

Send Break
Enter a Send Break control character, e.g., <control> Y, or blank to disable.
When the Send Break control character is received from the network on its way
to the serial line, it is not sent to the line; instead, the line output is forced to be
inactive (the break condition).
Note:
This configuration option is only available for Line Terminals.
Break Duration
Enter how long the break should last in milliseconds, up to 10000. Default is
500.
Note:
This configuration option is only available for Line Terminals.
