Telnet
Web SSH/Web Telnet Settings
Port
The TCP port that the SMTP server listens to. Before the introduction of secure email
(with StartTLS or TLS), port 25 was the standard port for SMTP. However, with the rise
of spam, fewer email services use port 25 and now use port 465 for
TLS
and port 587
for
StartTLS
.The default port is 25.
Security
Enables TLS encrypted connections to the SMTP server. Select
StartTLS
to initiate a
connection in unencrypted mode but switch to TLS if it can negotiate with the server,
and select
TLS
to use only use encrypted connection mode with the server. This
option is disabled by default.
Test Email
Select the check box to send a test email.
Email Address
Email address to send the test email.
Comment
Allows you to provide a comment, if desired.
View SMTP Log
Allows you to view SMTP logs.
Enable Logins
Enables or disables Telnet logins to the SLC unit to allow users to access the CLI
using Telnet. Disabled by default.
This setting does not control Telnet access to individual device ports. (See
Device
Ports > Settings (1 of 2) (on page 187)
for information on enabling Telnet access to
individual ports.)
You may want to keep this option disabled for security reasons.
Web Telnet
Enables or disables the ability to access the SLC command line interface or device
ports (connect direct) through the Web Telnet window. Disabled by default.
Timeout
If you enable Telnet logins, you can cause an idle connection to disconnect after a
specified number of minutes. Select
Yes
and enter a value of from 1 to 30 minutes.
Timeout Data
Direction
If idle connection timeouts are enabled, this setting indicates the direction of data used
to determine if the connection has timed out. Select the type of data direction:
Both Directions
Incoming Network
Outgoing Network
Escape Sequence
A single character or a two-character sequence that causes the SLC unit to terminate
a Telnet client. Currently the Escape Sequence is only used for Web Telnet sessions.
The default value is
Esc+T
(escape key, then uppercase "T" performed quickly but not
simultaneously). You would specify this value as
\x1bT
, which is hexadecimal
(\x)
character 27
(1B)
followed by a
T
. A control character can be specified with the
hexadecimal number for the control character; for example,
Control-E
can be
specified as \x05. Note that some browsers do not report key press events if Control is
pressed for non-alphanumeric keys, so it is recommended to only use letters with
Control character sequences.
Outgoing Telnet
Enables or disables the ability to create Telnet out connections.
Terminal Buffer
Size
Number of lines in the Web SSH or Web Telnet terminal window that are available for
scrolling back through output.
Note:
For tips on browser issues with Web SSH or Web Telnet, see
Browser Issues
on page 151
.
