Specifying the Automatic Logout Characteristics

Specifying the Automatic Logout Characteristics

Introduction

This section describes the characteristics that you can use to log out a port automatically when the device attached to the port is turned off or when there is no activity for a specified period of time.

Specifying DSRLOGOUT

The DSRLOGOUT characteristic causes the access server to logout a port device when the device deasserts DSR. You cannot enable DSR logout if you enable DSR FLOW CONTROL.

To use DSRLOGOUT, the device and cable must support DSR. For the wiring and cables that support DSR, refer to the hardware documentation for your terminal server. For more information about DTR and DSR signals, refer to Configuring DTR and DSR Signals in Chapter 10.

By default, for DSRLOGOUT is disabled.

Example: Enabling DSRLOGOUT

The following command shows how to enable DSRLOGOUT on port 5:

Local> CHANGE PORT 5 DSRLOGOUT ENABLED

Specifying LONGBREAK LOGOUT

The LONGBREAK LOGOUT characteristic causes access server to logout a port device when the device deasserts RxD for 2.5 to 3.5 seconds. You use this characteristic for devices that do not support the DSR signal.

Use the SHOW/LIST/MONITOR PORT STATUS command to determine if the RxD signal is valid. If the signal is valid, it appears in the Input Signals field.

By default, LONGBREAK LOGOUT is disabled.

Example: Enabling LONGBREAK LOGOUT

The following command shows how to enable LONGBREAK LOGOUT on port 5:

Local> CHANGE PORT 5 LONGBREAK LOGOUT ENABLED
