Configuration Options
•
Multiple Logins:
(Text Interface Only) If the VMR/NPS is installed in an
environment that
does not
include communication via an open network (local
communication only), then the Multiple Logins parameter can be used to determine
whether or not multiple users will be able to communicate with the unit at the
same time. If this parameter is set to "Off" then only one user will be allowed to
communicate with the unit at a time. (Default = On)
•
Email Messaging:
Displays a submenu which is used to define Email Messaging
parameters as described in Section 6.8.10.
•
Raw Socket Access:
Enables/disables Raw Socket Protocol access to the
Network Port via Direct Connect and selects the port number for Raw Socket
Access. This item can be used to enable or disable Raw Socket Protocol access
and select either port 23 or port 3001 for use for Raw Socket connections.
(Default = Off.)
Notes:
• The Raw Socket Access option is often helpful for users who encounter
network problems when attempting to communicate with the VMR/NPS using
a script that was previously written for our legacy IPS product line.
• If the "On (23)" option is selected, you must either disable Telnet Port 23 or
use the Telnet Access option to select a port other than Port 23.
• When the Raw Socket Access option is enabled, you must connect to
the VMR/NPS using the port number selected for Raw Socket Access.
For example, if the VMR/NPS IP address is "1.2.3.4", and port 3001 has
been selected for Raw Socket Acess, in order to establish a Raw Socket
connection to the VMR/NPS's Network Port, then on a UNIX system, the
connection command would be:
$ telnet 1.2.3.4 3001
[Enter]
.
