Serial Port Access Tab

Adding/Editing Users

Overview

The Serial Port Access tab controls the user’s read/write access on any given IOLAN serial port. This pertains to users that are connecting from the network to a serial device over a Console Management type session.

This can be useful when you have multiple users connecting to the same serial device and you wish to control the viewing and/or the write to and from the device. See User Authentication parameters in the Console Management Profile for the serial port settings.

Field Descriptions

Configure the following parameters:

Serial Port Access Specifies the user access rights to each IOLAN serial port device. There can be multiple users connected to a particular serial device and these settings determine the rights of this user for any of the listed serial ports.

Data Options:

zRead/Write—The user has read and write access to the serial port.

zRead In—The User will see data going to the serial port, from all network-connected users that have write privileges to this serial port.

zRead Out—The user will have access to all data originating from the serial device.

Users can read data going in both directions by selecting both the Read In and

Read Out options.

Default: Read/Write
