Serial Port Configuration

Basic Configuration

¥DTRwait: DTRwait delays the MSS from asserting DTR until the port is actually in use, whether due to a login or a network connection. It is disabled by default.

Ex: CHANGE DTRWAIT ENABLED

¥DSRlogout: When a device connected to the MSS is disconnected or powered off, the DSR signal is de-asserted. If DSRlogout is enabled, the MSS will automatically log out the port when DSR is de-asserted. It is disabled by default.

Ex: CHANGE DSRLOGOUT ENABLED

¥Inactivity Logout: The MSS can be conÞgured to automatically log out the serial port if it is idle for a speciÞed period of time. This feature is disabled by default. See Inactivity Timer.

Ex: CHANGE INACTIVE LOGOUT ENABLED

¥Inactivity Timer: When Inactivity Logout is enabled, the port will automatically log out after an idle period of 1 to 120 minutes, depending upon the speciÞed timer value. The default is 30 minutes.

Ex: CHANGE INACTIVE TIMER 2

¥Preferred Services: If preferred services are conÞgured, the MSS will attempt to use those services for connections when no service names are speciÞed in Telnet (TCP), Rlogin, SPX, or LAT connection commands. A preferred service can be deÞned for each protocol, or the None keyword can be use to denote that there is no preferred service for that protocol. No preferred services are enabled by default.

Ex: CHANGE PREFERRED TCP 192.0.1.233

CHANGE PREFERRED SPX NONE

NOTE: Both the Change Preferred and Change Dedicated commands can take environment strings. For complete command syntax, refer to the Commands chapter on CD-ROM.

¥Dedicated Service: The MSS can be conÞgured to only provide connections to a single dedicated service. When a dedicated service is conÞgured, users will be connected to the service immediately upon login, and will be disconnected from both the service and the MSS upon logout. They will never see the MSS Local> prompt.
