Set Port-Buffering
Description Configures port buffering.
User Level Admin
Syntax set port-buffering [duplicate-nfs-to-syslog on|off]
[keys-stroke-buffering on|off] [mode off|local|remote|both]
[nfs-directory <text>] [nfs-encryption on|off]
[nfs-host <config_host>] [time-stamp on|off]
[view-port-buffer-string <text>]
Options duplicate-nfs-to-syslog
When enabled, buffered data is sent to the syslog host to be viewed on the host’s
monitor. The default is off.
key-stroke-buffering
When enabled, key strokes that are sent from the network host to the serial device on
the IOLAN’s serial port are buffered. The default is off.
mode
Specifies where the port buffer log is kept, either Off, Local, Remote, or Both. If
Remote or Both is selected, you must specify an NFS server location for the port buffer
log.
nfs-directory
The directory and/or subdirectories where the Remote Port Buffering files will be
created. This field is used when Port Buffering Mode is set to Remote or Both. For
multiple IOLANs using the same NFS host, it is recommended that each IOLAN have
its own unique directory to house the remote port log files. The default is
/device_server/portlogs.
nfs-encryption
Determines if the data sent to the NFS host is sent encrypted or in the clear across the
LAN. The default is set of Off.
NOTE: When NFS encryption is enabled, the Decoder utility software is required to be
installed on the NFS host for decrypting the data to a readable format. The Decoder
utility software can be found on the installation CD-ROM and on the www.perle.com
website.
nfs-host
The NFS host that the IOLAN will use for its Remote Port Buffering feature. The
IOLAN will open a file on the NFS host for each reverse SSH or reverse Telnet line,
and send any port data to be written to those files. The default is None. This field is
required when Mode is set to Remote or Both.
time-stamp
Enable/disable time stamping of the port buffer data.
view-port-buffer-string
The string (up to 8 characters) used by a a session connected to a serial port to display
the port buffer for that particular serial port. You can specify control (unprintable) codes
by putting the decimal value in angle brackets < > (for example, Escape b is <027>b).
The default is ~view.
