Basic Configuration
NetworkServices:
• DirectConnect: Direct Connect allows users to access the TSM/RSM and
automatically create a connection between the Network Port and a specific serial
port by including the appropriate Telnet port number in the connect command (e.g.
Port 5 = 2105). For more information, please refer to Section 10.3. As described
below, the Direct Connect feature offers three options. (Default = Off)
Off: Telnet users will not be able to employ the Direct Connect feature to
connect to this port.
On-NoPassword: Telnet users will be able to employ the Direct Connect
feature to connect to this port without entering a password.
On-Password: Telnet and SSH users will be able to use Direct Connect
to connect to this port, but will be required to enter a password before the
connection is established.
Off-BreakonRawDisconnect: The port will send a break character when
a Raw Socket connection with the port is terminated. Note that this feature
will work with both the "No Password" and "Password" options as described in
Section 10.3.2. In the default state this feature is disabled; no break character is
sent when a Raw Socket connection is terminated.
