Perle Systems Guide to Resetting Perle IOLAN Default Password and Configuration Settings

Resetting Configuration Parameters

For example:

term=AT386 at386 386AT 386at at/386 console acsc=jYk?lZm@qDtCu4x3

bold=\E[1m

civis=

clear=\E[2J\E[H

cnorm=

cup=\E[%i%p1%02d;%p2%02dH

rev=\E4A

rmacs=\E[10m

rmso=\E[m

smacs=\E[12m

smso=\E[7m

page=

circ=n

Note: As you can see from the example, capabilities which are not defined in the terminfo file must still be included (albeit with no value). Each entry has an 80 character limit.

On some versions of UNIX, some of the capabilities are appended with a millisecond delay (of the form $<n>). These are ignored by the IOLAN and can be left out.

The ‘acsc’ capability, if defined, contains a list of character pairs. These pairs map the characters used by the terminal for graphics characters to those of the standard (VT100) character set.

Include only the following character pairs:

jx, kx, lx, mx, qx, tx, ux and xx

(where x must be substituted by the character used by the terminal). These are the box- drawing characters used to display the forms and menus of Menu mode. They must be entered in this order.

The last two capabilities will not be found in the terminfo file. In the page field you must enter the escape sequence used by the terminal to change screens. The circ field defines whether the terminal can use previous page and next page control sequences. It must be set to y or n. These capabilities can be found in the documentation supplied with the terminal.

Resetting Configuration Parameters

You can reset the IOLAN to its factory default settings (this will reset it to the original factory default or custom factory default settings, depending on what has been configured) through any of the following methods:

zYou can push in the recessed button at the back of the IOLAN hardware for three to ten seconds (pushing it in and then quickly releasing will just reboot the IOLAN)

zDeviceManager, select Tools, Reset, Reset to Factory Defaults

zCLI, at the command line type, reset factory

zWebManager, select Administration, Reset, Factory Default, and then click the Reset to Factory Defaults button

zMenu, select Network Configuration, Reset to Factory Defaults
