8: Device Ports

 

 

 

 

Authentication

If selected, the SLC unit 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.

 

 

 

 

Timeout

To cause an idle Telnet, SSH or TCP connection to disconnect after a specified

 

 

number of seconds, select the checkbox and enter a value from 1 to 1800

 

 

seconds. The default is no timeout.

 

 

 

 

Seconds

Number of seconds before a timeout.

 

 

 

 

IP Address/Netmask

IP address used for this device port so a user can Telnet, SSH, or establish a raw

 

Bits

TCP connection to this address and connect directly to the device port. The

 

 

optional netmask bits specify the netmask to use for the IP address. For

 

 

example, for a netmask of 255.255.255.0 specify 24 bits. If the netmask bits are

 

 

not specified, a default netmask used for the class of network that the IP address

 

 

falls in will be used.

 

 

For Telnet and SSH, the default TCP port numbers (22 and 23, respectively) are

 

 

used to connect to the device port. For raw TCP, the TCP port number defined

 

 

for TCP In to the device port is used.

 

 

 

 

Web SSH/Telnet

Number of columns in the Web SSH/Telnet applet when this device port is

 

Columns

accessed via the applet.

 

 

 

 

Rows

Number of rows in the Web SSH/Telnet applet when this device port is accessed

 

 

via the applet.

 

 

 

Data Settings

Note: Check the serial device’s equipment settings and documentation for the proper settings. The device port and the attached serial device must have the same settings.

Baud

The speed with which the device port exchanges data with the attached serial

 

device.

 

From the drop-down list, select the baud rate. Most devices use 9600 for the

 

administration port, so the device port defaults to this value. Check the equipment

 

settings and documentation for the proper baud rate.

 

 

Data Bits

Number of data bits used to transmit a character. From the drop-down list, select

 

the number of data bits. The default is 8 data bits.

 

 

Stop Bits

The number of stop bit(s) used to indicate that a byte of data has been transmitted.

 

From the drop-down list, select the number of stop bits. The default is 1.

 

 

Parity

Parity checking is a rudimentary method of detecting simple, single-bit errors.

 

From the drop-down list, select the parity. The default is none.

 

 

Flow Control

A method of preventing buffer overflow and loss of data. The available methods

 

include none, xon/xoff (software), and rts/cts (hardware). The default is none.

 

 

Enable Logins

For serial devices connected to the device port, displays a login prompt and

 

authenticates users. Successfully authenticated users are logged into the

 

command line interface.

 

The default is disabled. This is the correct setting if the device port is the endpoint

 

for a network connection.

 

 

Max Direct Connects

Enter the maximum number (1-10) of simultaneous connections for the device

 

port. The default is 1.
