Basic Configuration
Network Services:
•
Direct Connect:
Direct Connect allows users to access the RSM-8R and
automatically create a connection between the Network Port and a specific serial
port by including the appropriate Telnet port number in the connect command (e.g.
Port 5 = 2105). For more information, please refer to Section 10. As described
below, the Direct Connect feature offers three options. (Default = Off.)
Off:
Telnet users will
not
be able to employ the Direct Connect feature to
connect to this port.
On - No Password:
Telnet users
will
be able to employ the Direct Connect
feature to connect to this port without entering a password.
On - Password:
Telnet and SSH users will be able to use Direct Connect
to connect to this port, but will be required to enter a password before the
connection is established.
Break on Raw Disconnect:
The port will send a break character when a
Raw Socket connection with the port is terminated. Note that this feature will
work with both the "No Password" and "Password" options as described in
Section 10.3.2. In the default state this feature is disabled; no break character is
sent when a Raw Socket connection is terminated.
Note:
If "On - Password" is selected, and Administrator level commands
are disabled at the Network Port, then only accounts that do not permit
Administrator level commands will be allowed to establish a direct connection
via the Network Port. If Administrator level commands are disabled at a given
port, then that port will not allow access by accounts that permit Administrator
level commands.
When the Port Parameters menu is accessed via the Text Interface and the
Direct Connect feature is enabled, the menu also lists both Direct Connect port
numbers for this port (port numbers are not listed in the Web Browser Interface.)
Telnet Port:
The Telnet port number employed to create a Direct Connection to
this port using standard Telnet protocol.
SSH Port:
When Direct Connect (Item 31) is set at "On - Password", this line will
display the Telnet port number used to create a Direct Connection to this port
using SSH protocol. For more information, please refer to Section 10.
Raw Port:
The Telnet port number that is used to create a Direct Connection to
this port using Raw Socket protocol.
