NPort 6000 Series Log, Monitoring and Warning
Dout is only available on the NPort 6450 and 6650 and refers to changing the status of the relay output (the
DOUT socket at the back of the NPort 6000) and of the alarm LED.
Cold start: This refers to starting the system from a power off status, or after upgrading your firmware
Warm start: This refers to restarting the NPort 6000 without turning the power off.
Network Event: These settings are only available on the NPort 6450 and 6650. Ethernet1 refers to the
built-in Ethernet port, and Ethernet2 and Ethernet3 refer to Ethernet ports that are added through optional
network modules. These settings configure the NPort to change the status of the relay output and alarm LED
if the specified connection goes down.
Console(web/text) login auth fail: This field refers to a failed attempt to log in to a password-protected
NPort 6000 console.
IP changed: With this option selected, the NPort 6000 will attempt to send an email warning before it reboots
after an IP address change. However, the NPort 6000 will reboot with the new IP address, regardless of
whether or not the email transmission is successful.
Password changed: With this option selected, the NPort 6000 will attempt to send an email warning before
it reboots with a new console password. If the NPort 6000 is unable to send an email message to the mail server
within 15 seconds, it will still reboot without sending the email.
Serial Event Settings
On the Serial Event Settings page, you may configure how administrators are notified of each serial port’s DCD
and DSR changes. Mail refers to sending an email to a specified address. Trap refers to sending an SNMP Trap.
Dout is only available on the NPort 6450 and 6650 and refers to changing the status of the relay output (the
DOUT socket at the back of the NPort 6000) and of the alarm LED.
DCD changed
A change in the DCD (Data Carrier Detect) signal indicates that the modem connection status has changed. For
example, if the DCD signal changes to low, it indicates that the connection line is down. When the DCD signal
changes to low, the NPort 6000 will automatically send a warning to the administrator as configured on the
Serial Event Settings page.
For the NPort 6450 and 6650, after the relay output status has been changed, administrators may reset its
status by selecting Acknowledge Event from the NPort 6000 console, or by correcting the DCD signal. Please
refer to the section on System Monitoring later in this chapter for more information.
