8: Device Ports

To enter device port settings:

1. Enter the following:

Mode

The status of the port; displays automatically.

 

 

Name

The name of the port. Valid characters are letters, numbers,

 

dashes (-), periods, and underscores ( _ ).

 

 

Banner

Text to display when a user connects to a device port by

 

means of Telnet, SSH, or TCP. If authentication is enabled

 

for the device port, the banner displays once the user

 

successfully logs in. Blank is the default.

 

 

Break Sequence

A series of one to ten characters users can enter on the

 

command line interface to send a break signal to the external

 

device. A suggested value is Esc+B (escape key, then

 

uppercase “B” performed quickly but not simultaneously).

 

You would specify this value as \x1bB, which is hexadecimal

 

(\x) character 27 (1B) followed by a B.

 

 

Logging

Click the Settings link to configure file logging, email logging,

 

local logging, and PC Card logging. (See Device Ports –

 

Logging on page 98.)

 

 

Zero Port Counters

Resets all of the numerical values in the Port Counters table

 

at the bottom of the page to zero (0).

 

 

Connected to

The type of device connected to the device port. Presently,

 

the SLB branch office manager supports SLP power

 

manager (SLP8 and SLP16) and Sensorsoft devices. If the

 

type of device is not listed, select undefined.

 

If you select anything other than undefined, click Device

 

Commands. The appropriate web page displays.

 

 

IP Settings

Enable Telnet In

Enables access to this port through Telnet. Disabled by

 

default.

 

 

Enable SSH In

Enables access to this port through SSH. Disabled by

 

default.

 

 

Enable TCP in

Enables access to this port through a raw TCP connection.

 

Disabled by default.

 

Note: When using raw TCP connections to transmit binary

 

data, or where the break command (escape sequence) is not

 

required, set the Break Sequence of the respective device

 

port to null (clear it).

 

 

Port

Automatically assigned Telnet, SSH, and TCP port numbers.

 

(See 8: Device Ports for information on setting up the

 

numbering scheme.) You may override this value, if desired.

 

 

Authenticate

If selected, the SLB branch office manager requires user

 

authentication before granting access to the port.

 

Authenticate is selected by default for Telnet in and SSH

 

in, but not for TCP in.
