Line Commands

break

Specifies how a break is interpreted:

zoff—The IOLAN ignores the break key completely and it is not passed through to the host. This is the default setting.

zlocal—The IOLAN deals with the break locally. If the user is in a session, the break key has the same effect as a hot key.

zremote—When the break key is pressed, the IOLAN translates this into a telnet break signal which it sends to the host machine.

zbreak-interrupt—On some systems such as SunOS, XENIX, and AIX, a break received from the peripheral is not passed to the client properly. If the client wishes to make the break act like an interrupt key (for example, when the stty options

-ignbrk and brkintr are set).

map-cr-crlf

When Line Service Printer is selected, defines the default end-of-line terminator as CR-LF (ASCII carriage-return line-feed) when enabled. Default is Off.

data-logging

When enabled, serial data will be buffered if the TCP connection is lost. When the TCP connection is re-established, the buffered serial data will be sent to its destination (this option is not available when Monitor DSR, Monitor DCD, or Multihost is enabled).

The data buffer is 4K for desktop models and 32K for rack mount models. If the data buffer is filled, incoming serial data will overwrite the oldest data.

The default is off.

flowin

Determines if input flow control is to be used. Default is On. This is active only when Line Flow Control is set to Soft, Hard, or Both.

flowout

Determines if output flow control is to be used. Default is On. This is active only when Line Flow Control is set to Soft, Hard, or Both.

hotkey-prefix

The prefix that a user types to lock a line or redraw the Menu. The default value is hex

01, which corresponds to Ctrl-a(^a) (hex value 02 would be Ctrl-b (^b), etc.):

z^a l—(Lowercase L) Locks the line until the user unlocks it. The user is prompted for a password (any password, excluding spaces) and locks the line. Next, the user must retype the password to unlock the line.

z^r—When you switch from a session back to the Menu, the screen may not be redrawn correctly. If this happens, use this command to redraw it properly. This is always Ctrl R, regardless of the Hotkey Prefix.

You can use the Hotkey Prefix key to lock a line only when the Line Lock parameter is On.

initial

Specifies the initial interface a user navigates when logging into the line; either the Menu or a prompt for the CLI. The default is CLI.

The Perle CSS also stands out for its compatibility with various communication protocols, including MQTT, RESTful APIs, and others. This interoperability allows organizations to integrate the CSS platform seamlessly with their existing systems, facilitating efficient data exchange and interoperability between different devices and applications.

Moreover, Perle CSS adopts a cloud-based architecture, which provides users with the flexibility to access device information from any location. This cloud integration enhances scalability, allowing businesses to expand their network capabilities without the need for extensive infrastructure investments.

The platform's user-friendly interface simplifies navigation, allowing users to manage devices effectively without requiring extensive technical expertise. With customizable dashboards and real-time analytics, administrators can gain valuable insights into device performance, network status, and usage patterns.

In summary, Perle Systems' CSS offers a comprehensive solution for managing connected devices in a secure and efficient manner. Its key features, including robust device management, advanced security, protocol compatibility, and a cloud-based architecture make it an ideal choice for enterprises looking to enhance their IoT capabilities and streamline operations in an increasingly connected world.
