Serial Port Profiles
Multisessions The number of extra network connections available on a serial port, in addition
to the single session that is always available. Enabling multisessions will
permit multiple users to monitor the same console port. Each user monitoring
the port can be assigned different privileges to this port.
Range: Dependent on model:
z1-port: 0
z2-port: (4 x #-of-ports) -1
zSTS/SDS 4+ ports: (2 x #-of-ports) -1
zSCS 4+ ports: (2 x (#-of-ports + 1)) -1
Default: 0
Idle Timeout Use this timer to close a connection because of inactivity. When the Idle
Timeout expires, the IOLAN will end the connection.
Range: 0-4294967 seconds (about 49 days)
Default: 0 seconds so the port will never timeout
Session Timeout Use this timer to forcibly close the session/connection when the Session
Timeout expires.
Default: 0 seconds so the port will never timeout
Range: 0-4294967 seconds (about 49 days)
Break Handling Specifies how a break is interpreted.
Data Range:
zNone—The IOLAN ignores the break key completely and it is not passed
through to the host.
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).
Default: None
