Serial Port Profiles

Advanced Tab Field Descriptions

Configure the following parameters:

Authenticate User

Enables/disables login/password authentication for users connecting from the

 

network.

 

Default: Disabled

Enable TCP

Enables a per-connection TCP keepalive feature. After the configured number

Keepalive

of seconds, the connection will send a gratuitous ACK to the network peer,

 

thus either ensuring the connection stays active OR causing a dropped

 

connection condition to be recognized.

 

This parameter needs to be used in conjunction with Monitor Connection

 

Status Interval parameter found in the Serial, Advanced, Advanced Settings

 

tab. The interval determines how long the IOLAN will wait during inactivity

 

before "testing" the connection. It should be noted that if a network connection

 

is accidentally dropped, it can take as long as the specified interval before

 

anyone can reconnect to the serial port.

 

Default: Disabled

Enable Message of

Enables/disables the display of the message of the day.

the Day (MOTD)

Default: Disabled

Enable Data

When enabled, serial data will be buffered if the TCP connection is lost. When

Logging

the TCP connection is re-established, the buffered serial data will be sent to its

 

destination. The minimum data buffer size for all models is 1 KB. The

 

maximum data buffer is 2000 KB for the DS1/TS2/STS8D, all other models

 

are 4000 KB. If the data buffer is filled, incoming serial data will overwrite the

 

oldest data.

 

Note: A kill line or a reboot of the IOLAN causes all buffered data to be

 

lost

 

Values: 1-2000 KB (DS1/TS2/STS8D) - default is 4 KB

 

Values: 1-4000 KB (all other models) - default is 256 KB

 

Some profile features are not compatible with Data Logging. See Data

 

Logging for the complete list.

 

To change the default buffer size see Advanced Serial Settings Tab.
