character. Note that quotes must enclose the value 
if it contains spaces. 
aes encrypt key <hexadecimal> 
Sets the accept tunnel AES encrypt key with up to 
16 bytes. Each byte is represented by two adjacent 
hex digits. Bytes may run together or be separated 
by optional punctuation: 123ABC "12 3A BC" 
12,3A,BC 12.3a.bc 12:3a:bc Note that quotes must 
enclose the value if it contains spaces. 
aes encrypt key text <text> 
Sets the accept tunnel AES encrypt key with up to 
16 bytes. Each byte is represented by a single 
character. Note that quotes must enclose the value 
if it contains spaces. 
Forwards (tunnels) network data in accept mode 
tunneling. 
Discards all data coming in from the accept mode 
tunnel before forwarding it to the serial interface 
(generally used for debugging). 
Forwards (tunnels) serial data in accept mode 
tunneling. 
Discards all data coming in from the serial interface 
before forwarding it to the accept mode tunnel 
(generally used for debugging). 
Selects the RSA/DSA certificates by name for the 
SSL server. 
Restores the default accept mode as "always". 
Uses the default port number as the local port for 
accept mode tunneling. The default port is 10000 + 
#, where # is the line number for this tunnel. 
Restores the default protocol as "TCP". 
Defaults the accept mode start character. 
default tcp keep alive idle time 
Defaults the TCP keep alive idle time. 
default tcp keep alive interval 
Restores the default 45 second accept mode TCP 
keep alive timeout. 
default tcp keep alive probes 
Defaults the TCP keep alive probes. 
Sets an email profile to use to send an email alert 
upon establishing an accept mode tunnel. 
<number> = the number of the email profile to use. 
email disconnect <number> 
Sets an email profile to use to send an email alert 
upon closing an accept mode tunnel. <number> = 
the number of the email profile to use. 
Returns to the tunnel level. 
Characters already in the serial data buffer are 
retained upon establishing an accept mode 
tunneling connection. 
Flushes the serial data buffer upon establishing an 
accept mode tunneling connection. 
flush start character disable 
Enables forwarding of the accept start character into 
the network. 
flush start character enable 
Disables forwarding of the accept start character 
into the network.
