Serial Port Profiles
Advanced Tab Field Descriptions
The Console Management Advanced tab configures serial port options that may be required by
certain applications.
Configure the following parameters:
IP Address Users can access serial devices connected to the IOLAN through the network
by the specified Internet Address (or host name that can be resolved to the
Internet Address in a DNS network).
Field Format: IPv4 or IPv6 Address
Authenticate User Enables/disables login/password authentication for users connecting from the
network.
Default: Disabled
Enable TCP
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 Monitor Connection
Status Interval parameter found in the Serial, Advanced, Advanced Settings
tab. The interval specifies the inactivity period before "testing" the connection.
Default: Disabled
Enable Message of
the Day (MOTD)
Enables/disables the display of the message of the day.
Default: Disabled
Enable Microsoft
Special
Administrator
Console (SAC)
support
When enabled, a user can access SAC (the interface of the Microsoft
Emergency Management Systems utility) through EasyPort Web when the
IOLAN’s serial port is connected to a Microsoft Server 2003 or Microsoft
Server 2008 host.
Default: Disabled
