Server Commands

banner

This parameter concerns the banner information (product name/software version). This banner information is presented to a user with a login prompt. For security reasons, you can turn off the display of this information. The default is Off.

break

Enables/disables the existing Reverse Telnet break signal and the out-of-band break signals for TruePort. The default value is Off.

bypass-password

When set, authorised users who do not have a password set, with the exception of the Admin user, WILL NOT be prompted for a password at login with Local Authentication.

dhcp/bootp

Enables the DHCP/BOOTP client process in the IOLAN. By default, this is disabled/off. If this is enabled, the server IP address parameter is disabled.

mtu

The Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) size of an IP frame that will be sent over the network. Only one MTU size can be set for both IPV4 and IPV6 frames

MTU sizes: 68-1500 bytes

Default size: 1500 bytes.

domain_name

Unique name for your domain, your location in the global network. Like Hostname, it is a symbolic, rather than a numerical, identifier.

flush-on-close

When enabled, deletes any pending outbound data when a port is closed; as opposed to maintaining the port to send pending data. The default value is Off.

internet

The IOLAN’s unique IPv4 network IP address. If you are using the IOLAN in an IPv6 network, this field can be left blank.

monitor-connection-every

Specify how often, in seconds, the IOLAN will send a TCP keepalive. This only applies to line service types that support the keepalive feature. T

Default Interval: 180 seconds. monitor-connection-timeout

Sets the maximum time to wait for a response after sending a TCP keepalive message. Values: 1-32767 seconds

Default: 5 seconds monitor-connection-number

The number of TCP keepalive retries before the connection is closed.

Values: 1-32767

Default: 5 name

You must supply a name for the IOLAN.
