SV1110IPEXT Instruction Guide
54
Name/Description:
An identifier for the R-Port device. Like the number
assignment, it is for ease of administration only.
Baud (bps):
This is the communication speed for the device, and the setting here
must match the setting on the device itself (see below). All common baud rates
between 300 and 115,200 bps are supported.
Mode:
Sets the character framing scheme that the SV1110IPEXT will use with
the R-Port device. You can choose from the following selections:
8N1:
Eight bits, no parity, one stop bit (default and most common)
7N1/701/7E1/7M1/7S1:
Seven bits, (none/odd/even/mark/space) parity,
one stop bit
8N1/801/8E1/8M1/8S1:
Eight bits, (none/odd/even/mark/space) parity,
one stop bit
8N2:
Eight bits, no parity, two stop bits
Force DCD:
Forces the Carrier Detect signal to be active at all times. Normally,
DCD becomes active when a new user connects and is dropped when the last user
disconnects (a response that is similar to many modems). When active, the device
will logout and reset itself if the carrier signal is lost, increasing security. Note
that this may not work with all devices and could impair proper operation in some
circumstances. The default setting is off.
Console Log:
Clicking this link will open a separate Web page that will display
the last 200 characters committed to that device’s console log. Note that existing
data is overwritten automatically when the 200 character limit is reached.
(Optional, not shown)
IPMI:
This is an optional feature that requires the purchase
of a software upgrade on the SV1110IPEXT. Refer to Appendix C for more
information about purchasing and using the IPMI upgrade. This feature will not
appear on the menu if the upgrade is not installed.
You can make as many changes a needed on this menu at one time before applying your

Port devices.
Advanced Configuration Using the Integrated SSH Shell
In most cases, configuring the SV1110IPEXT to the same settings as the R-Port devices
you are connecting should allow the devices to work with a minimum amount of
configuration. However, you can also change the default settings on each R-Port device
to fit your preferences and the needs of your application.
If you click the
Connect…
button next to the device you want to configure, two new
windows will appear. The smaller of the two is a login screen; the other is a SSH
