Serial Port Settings

The SmartView World Serial settings allow you to specify which devices are connected to the front panel serial port and how to use it. The port may be used for different purposes. All possible options are listed and described below.

Configuration login

Don’t use the serial port for any special function, use it only for the initial configuration.

Modem

Serial line speed

The speed that the SmartView World is communicating with the modem. Most of all modems available today will support the default value of 115200 bps. In case you are using an

old modem and discovering problems try to lower this speed.

Modem Init String

The initialization string used by the SmartView World to initialize the modem. The default value will work with all modern standard modems directly connected to a telephone line. In case you have a special modem or the modem is connected to a local telephone switch that requires a special dial sequence in order to establish a connection to the public telephone network, you can change this setting by giving a new string. Refer to the modem’s manual about the AT command syntax.

Client IP address

This IP address will be assigned to your console computer during the PPP handshake. Since it is a point-to-point IP connection virtually every IP address is possible but you must make sure, it is not interfering with the IP settings of the SmartView World and your console computer. The default value will work in most cases.

IPMI over Serial

Enables the possibility to use this serial port for IPMI 1.5 over serial.

Passthrough access to serial port via Telnet

Using this option, it is possible to connect an arbitrary device to the serial port and access it (assuming it provides terminal support) via telnet. Select the appropriate options for the serial port and use the Telnet Console or a standard telnet client to connect to the SmartView World.

LDAP Settings

With the SmartView World you have the possibility to keep authentication information in a central LDAP directory. To use this feature you need to configure an LDAP server that contains this information.

The settings are explained in the following.

User LDAP Server



Here you enter the name or

IP address of the LDAP server

 

containing all the user entries. If you choose a name instead of an IP address you



need to configure a DNS server in the network settings.

Base DN of User LDAP Server

Here you specify the distinguished name (DN) where the directory tree starts in

the user LDAP server.

 

Type of external LDAP Server

 

With this option you set the type of the external LDAP server. This is necessary



since some server types require special handling. Additionally the default values

for the LDAP schema are set appropriately. You can choose between Generic

LDAP Server, Novell Directory Service and Microsoft Active Directory. If you have

neither Novell Directory Service nor Microsoft Active Directory then choose

Generic LDAP Server and edit the LDAP schema used (see below).

 

Name of login-name attribute

 

This is the name of the attribute containing the unique login name of a user. To

use the default leave this field empty. The default depends on the selected LDAP

server type.

Name of user-entry objectclass

This is the objectclass that identifies a user in the LDAP directory. To use the

 

default leave this field empty. The default depends on the selected LDAP server

 

type.



Here you can refine the search for users that should be known to the SmartView

User search subfilter

 

World.
