Serial Port Profiles

Reset Terminal on When enabled, resets the terminal definition connected to the serial port when

disconnect

a user logs out.

 

Default: Disabled

Allow Port Locking When enabled, the user can lock his terminal with a password using the Hotkey Prefix (default Ctrl-a) ^a l (lowercase L). The IOLAN prompts the user for a password and a confirmation.

Default: Disabled

Hotkey Prefix The prefix that a user types to lock a serial port or redraw the Menu.

Data Range:

z ^a l—(Lowercase L) Locks the serial port until the user unlocks it. The user is prompted for a password (any password, excluding spaces) and locks the serial port. Next, the user must retype the password to unlock the serial port.

 

z ^r—When you switch from a session back to the Menu, the screen may

 

not be redrawn correctly. If this happens, use this command to redraw it

 

properly. This is always Ctrl R, regardless of the Hotkey Prefix.

 

You can use the Hotkey Prefix key to lock a serial port only when the Allow

 

Port Locking parameter is enabled.

 

Default: Hex 01 (Ctrl-a, ^a)

Idle Timeout

Use this timer to close a connection because of inactivity. When the Idle

 

Timeout expires, the IOLAN will end the connection.

 

Default: 0 seconds so the port will never timeout

 

Range: 0-4294967 seconds (about 49 days)

Session Timeout

Use this timer to forcibly close the session/connection when the Session

 

Timeout expires.

 

Default: 0 seconds so the port will never timeout

 

Range: 0-4294967 seconds (about 49 days)

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

Dial In

If the device 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
