NPort 6000 Series Configuring Serial Port Operation Modes
Inactivity time (default=0 min): This field specifies how long the NPort 6000 will wait for incoming and
outgoing data through the serial port before closing the TCP connection. The TCP connection is closed if there
is no incoming or outgoing data through the serial port for the specified Inactivity time. If this field is set to
0, the TCP connection is kept active until a connection close request is received.
ATTENTION
Inactivity time
should at least be set larger than that of Force transmit time
. To prevent the unintended
loss of data due to the session being disconnected, it is highly recommended that this value is set large
enough so that the intended data transfer is completed.
Auto-Link Protocol: If this field is set to None, the NPort 6000 will not connect to the host automatically. If
Auto-Link Protocol is set to Telnet or Rlogin, the NPort 6000 will connect to the host automatically using the
specified protocol.
Primary and Secondary host address: If specified, the fields designate permanent hosts to which the
terminal will always be connected.
Telnet TCP port (default=23): By default, the Telnet TCP port number is set to 23, which is the default TCP
port number for Telnet.
Terminal type (default=ansi): Some older terminal applications may require that the terminal type be
transmitted before the connection can be established. You may need to refer to the server’s documentation to
determine the appropriate terminal type. For most applications, this setting will be unnecessary and will have
no effect
Quit (default=(^E) 0x05): This field configures the quick key used to disconnect the link between the
current terminal session and the remote host. It is not necessary for binary communication.
Authentication type (default=None): This field allows you to configure the method used, if any, to verify a
user’s ID and authorization.
Option Description
Local Verify the ID against the NPort 6000 User Table.
RADIUS Verify the ID against the external RADIUS server.
Radius authentication is tried first, switching to Local if unsuccessful.
Local - RADIUS Authentication is performed locally first, switching to Radius if unsuccessful.
TACACS+ Verify the ID against the external TACACS+ server.
TACACS+ - Local TACACS+ authentication is tried first, switching to Local if unsuccessful.
Local - TACACS+ Authentication is performed locally first, switching to Radius if unsuccessful.
None Authentication is not required.
Try next type on authentication denied (default=Disable): The field enables or disables the system to try
next type on first authentication denied.
Auto-login prompt (default=ogin:)
Password prompt (default=assword:)
Login user name: Enter the terminal login ID here.
Login password: Enter the password for the terminal login here.
