2. Enter the following:

Device Port Settings

Port

Displays number of port; displays automatically.

 

 

Mode

The status of the port; displays automatically.

 

 

Name

The name of the port. Valid characters are letters, numbers, dashes (-), periods,

 

and underscores ( _ ).

 

 

Group Access

If undefined, any group can access the device port. If one or more groups are

 

specified (groups are delimited by the characters ' ' (space), ',' (comma), or ';'

 

(semicolon)), then any user who logs into the device port must be a member of one

 

of the specified groups, otherwise access will be denied. Users authenticated via

 

RADIUS may have a group (or groups) provided by the RADIUS server via the

 

Filter-Id attribute that overrides the group defined for a user on the SLC unit. A

 

group provided by a remote server must be either a single group or multiple groups

 

delimited by the characters ' ' (space), ',' (comma), ';' (semicolon), or '=' (equals) -

 

for example "group=group1,group2;" or "group1,group2,group3".

 

 

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.

 

 

View Port Log Seq

The key sequence used to view the Port Log while in Connect Direct mode. Non-

 

printing characters can be specified by giving their hexidecimal code (see Break

 

Sequence above). The default is Esc+V (\x1bV).

 

 

View Port Log

Select to allow the user to enter the View Port Log Sequence to view the Port Log

 

during Connect Direct mode. The default is disabled.

 

 

Zero Port Counters

Resets all of the numerical values in the Port Counters table at the bottom of the

 

page to zero (0).

 

 

Logging

Click the Settings link to configure file logging, email logging, and local logging.

 

 

Connected to

The type of device connected to the device port. Presently, the SLC 8000

 

advanced console manager supports Lantronix SLP Power Manager (SLP8

 

SLP16) ServerTech CDUs 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

Telnet In

Enables access to this port through Telnet. Disabled by default.

 

 

SSH In

Enables access to this port through SSH. Disabled by default.

 

 

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. You may override

 

this value, if desired.
