Line Commands

keepalive

Enables a per-connection TCP keepalive feature. After the configured number of seconds, the connection will send a gratuitous ACK to the network peer, thus either ensuring the connection stays active OR causing a dropped connection condition to be recognized.

This parameter needs to be used in conjunction with server parameter, monitor-connection-every. The interval determines how long the IOLAN will wait during inactivity before "testing" the connection. It should be noted that if a network connection is accidentally dropped, it can take as long as the specified interval before anyone can reconnect to the serial port.

line-name

Provide a name for the line so it can be easily identified.

lock

When enabled, the user can lock his terminal with a password using the Hotkey Prefix (default Ctrl-a) ^a l (lowercase L). The IOLAN prompts the user for a password and a confirmation.

mode

Enables/disables the line (available only on the TS2 model). The default is enabled.

modem-name

The name of the predefined modem that is used on this line.

motd

Enables/disables the message of the day on the line.

nouser

Blanks out the User parameter, in case you want to change a dedicated user line to an undedicated line.

pages

For DSLogin line service, this is the number of video pages the terminal supports. Valid values are 1-7. The default is 5 pages.

parity

Specifies if you are using Even, Odd, or No parity on the line. If you want to force a parity type, you can specify Mark for 1or Space for 0.

phone-number

The phone number to use when Connection Method is set to Dial Out.

reset

Resets the terminal type connected to the line when a user logs out.

rev-sess-security

Enables/disables login/password authentication, locally or externally, on reverse Telnet connections. The default is Off.

send-name

When enabled, the port name will be sent to the host upon session initiation.

Default: Disabled
