Serial Port Profiles
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)
Break Handling Specifies how a break is interpreted.
Data Range:
z None—The IOLAN ignores the break key completely and it is not passed
through to the host.
z Local—The IOLAN deals with the break locally. If the user is in a
session, the break key has the same effect as a hot key.
z Remote—When the break key is pressed, the IOLAN translates this into a
telnet break signal which it sends to the host machine.
z Break Interrupt—On some systems such as SunOS, XENIX, and AIX, a
break received from the peripheral is not passed to the client properly. If
the client wishes to make the break act like an interrupt key (for example,
when the stty options
-ignbrk and brkintr are set).
Default: None
Session Strings Controls the sending of ASCII strings to serial devices at session start and
session termination as follows;
z Send at Start—If configured, this string will be sent to the serial device
on power-up of the IOLAN or when a kill line command is issued on this
serial port. If the "monitor DSR" or "monitor DCD" options are set the
string will also be sent when the monitored signal is raised.
Range: 0-127 alpha-numeric characters
Range: Hexadecimal 0-FF
z Send at End—If configured, this string will be sent to the serial device
when the TCP session on the LAN is terminated. If multihost is
configured, this string will only be sent to the serial device when the
profile is configured as a listen mode connection and after all multihost
connections are terminated.
Range: 0-127 alpha-numeric characters
Range: Hexadecimal 0-FF
z Delay after Send—If configured, will inset a delay after the string is sent
to the device. This delay can be used to provide the serial device with time
to process the string before the session is initiated or terminated.
Default: 10 ms
Dial In If the console port 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
Dial Timeout The number of seconds the IOLAN will wait to establish a connection to a
remote modem.
Range: 1-99
Default: 45 seconds
