Serial Port Profiles

Enable Microsoft

When enabled, a user can access SAC (the interface of the Microsoft

Special

Emergency Management Systems utility) through EasyPort Web when the

Administrator

IOLAN’s serial port is connected to a Microsoft Server 2003 or Microsoft

Console (SAC)

Server 2008 host.

support

Default: Disabled

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:

 

z 1-port: 0-3

 

z 2-port:(4 x #-of-ports)-1

 

z STS/SDS 4+ ports: (2 x #-of-ports)-1

 

z SCS 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

Break Handling

Specifies how a break is interpreted.

 

Data Range:

 

z None—The IOLAN ignores the break key completely and it is not passed

 

through to the host.

 

z Local—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.

 

z Remote—When the break key is pressed, the IOLAN translates this into a

 

telnet break signal which it sends to the host machine.

 

z Break 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 -ignbrkand brkintr are set).

 

Default: None

Dial In

If the console port is remote and will be dialing in via modem or ISDN TA,

 

enable this parameter.

 

Default: Disabled

Dial Out

If you want the modem to dial a number when the serial port is started, enable

 

this parameter.

 

Default: Disabled

Dial Timeout

The number of seconds the IOLAN will wait to establish a connection to a

 

remote modem.

 

Range: 1-99

 

Default: 45 seconds

Dial Retry

The number of times the IOLAN will attempt to re-establish a connection with

 

a remote modem.

 

Range: 0-99

 

Default: 2
