Terminal applications menu commands
The Terminal Applications menu of the DSR features seven selections:
Network Configuration, Security Configuration, Firmware Management,
Enable Debug Messages, Set/Change Password, Configure Sun Keyboard
Layout Code and Exit. Each are discussed below.
Network Configuration menu
The DSR is configured for network access through this option. When it is selected, you will have access to the addressing that allows the DSR to be positioned in your network.
Security Configuration menu
This menu option allows you to configure DSR authentication security. When it is selected, you will be given two menu options: Reset Security Keys (Authentication Server certificates) and Authentication Server connection status.
The DSR operates in one of two modes: All or Secure. This setting is controlled from the Security menu on the DSR console port. In the default All mode, the DSR allows any Authentication Server to initiate a session between the DSR and DSView. In Secure mode, only one specific Authentication Server is allowed to initiate this session; other Authentication Servers are locked out.
NOTE: In secure mode the ability to select a backup authentication server through DSView is eliminated.
When a DSR is added to the database with DSAdmin, the appropriate
Authentication Server certificate is added to the DSR automatically.
