To copy/clone the configuration of one port to other ports:

1.Select Ports - Serial Ports.

2.Click the checkbox for the serial port you want to clone.

3.Click the Clone button.

4.Enter the serial port(s) to be configured in the Copy Configuration To field and click Save.

NOTE: If the selected port is configured as a CAS Profile, the following parameters will not be copied: Port Name, TCP Port Alias, IPv4 Port Alias and IPv6 Port Alias.

To reset one or more serial ports to their factory configuration:

1.Select Ports - Serial Ports.

2.Click the checkbox for one or more serial ports you want to reset to their factory configuration, then click the Reset To Factory button.

NOTE: Serial ports are set to the CAS Profile and disabled in the factory configuration.

CAS Profile

An administrator can configure settings for auto discovery and for auto answer features.

Auto discovery

The auto discovery feature will discover the target name of the server connected to the serial port. This name will be used as the alias of the serial port.

When auto discovery is active for a certain serial device, upon target connection (DCD ON event), the appliance will send probe strings and start analyzing target device answers using regular expressions. There will be predefined probe and match strings as well as customer- defined ones.

For each probe string sent, all regular expressions defined by the match strings will be tested. After the last cycle, the sequence restarts. This procedure will run for a certain period (given by the auto discovery time-out parameter) or until the target is successfully detected. If auto discovery fails, the target name will be reset to the configured target name or to the corresponding unique default target name.

NOTE: The configured target name will be used only after the auto discovery process fails.

NOTE: The auto discovery process starts when there is variation in the DCD signal from OFF to ON (disconnect/connect the target's cable, turn off/on the target) and when the configuration of the serial port goes from disabled to enabled and there is a target connected in the port.

The probe strings will be used to stimulate the server (such as “\n”: a single newline).
