Basic Configuration
5.1.3. Access Via PDA
In addition to the Web Browser Interface and Text Interface, the TSM/RSM command
mode can also be accessed by PDA devices. Note however, that due to nature of most
PDAs, only a limited selection of TSM/RSM operating and status display functions are
available to users who communicate with the unit via PDA.
When the TSM/RSM is operated via a PDA, only the following functions are available:
• Product Status Screen (Unit Info) (Section 8.1)
• Port Status Screen (Section 8.3)
• Port and Plug Status Screen (Section 8.4; RSM-8R8 Series Only)
• Plug Group Status Screen (Section 8.5; RSM-8R8 Series Only)
• Plug Control Screen (Section 9.2.1; RSM-8R8 Series Only)
• Plug Group Control Screen (Section 9.2.2; RSM-8R8 Series Only)
Notes:

For more information on these functions, please refer to the appropriate section listed
next to each function in the list above.
To configure the TSM/RSM for access via PDA, first consult your IT department for
appropriate settings. Access the TSM/RSM command mode via the Text Interface or
Web Browser interface as described in this section, then configure the TSM/RSM's
Network Port accordingly, as described in Section 5.9.
In most cases, this configuration will be adequate to allow communication with most
PDAs. Note however, that if you wish to use a BlackBerry
®
to contact the TSM/RSM,
you must first make certain to configure the BlackBerry to support HTML tables, as
described below:
1. Power on the BlackBerry, and then click on the BlackBerry Internet Browser Icon.
2. Press the Menu button, and then choose "Options."
3. From the Options menu, choose "Browser Configuration," then verify to make
certain that "Support HTML Tables" is checked (enabled.)
4. Press the Menu button, and select "Save Options."
When you have finished communicating with the TSM/RSM via PDA, it is important to
always close the session using the PDA's menu functions, rather than by simply closing
the browser window, in order to ensure that the TSM/RSM has completely exited from
command mode, and is not waiting for the inactivity timeout period to elapse. For
example, to close a session on a BlackBerry, press the Menu button and then
choose "Close."
