Installing your IOLAN+
IP Addresses: Deals with remote access via PPP/SLIP sessions.
Options: Deals mainly with the telnet options. This
section is the least used.
Keys: Defines the various accelerator keys that
IOLAN+ responds to and can be used for
convenience.
Access: Controls the type of the connection made from
this port. This is the most important section in
defining a port.
If you’re ready to install terminals, printers and modems,
proceed to the appropriate section. For a good review, go to
Section 9,
The Menu System.
2.6Tips
Copy Command
IOLAN+ has a copy command that allows you to copy the
setup of one port to another. You will need to get to the CLI
(from the
Connection
menu) and use the following syntax.
Note:To get back to the menu system once in the CLI, type
set menu
at the command line.
local> su
password>
ADMIN:local> copy 1 2 3 4 5
ADMIN:local> set menu
The commands above would copy the configuration of
port number 1 to ports 2, 3, 4 and 5 (and return you to the
menu system).
Connecting via
BOOTP (for Unix
systems only)
IOLAN+ supports BOOTP which allows the communications
server to dynamically configure itself on startup. Upon
startup IOLAN+ sends four BOOTP broadcast requests if it
has no IP address. This broadcast request packet contains the
Ethernet address of your unit.
