9: Device Ports IP Address/Netmask Bits IP address used for this device port so a user can Telnet, SSH, or establish a raw TCP connection to this address and connect directly to the device port. The optional netmask bits specify the netmask to use for the IP address. For example, for a netmask of 255.255.255.0 specify 24 bits. If the netmask bits are not specified, a default netmask used for the class of network that the IP address falls in will be used. For Telnet and SSH, the default TCP port numbers (22 and 23, respectively) are used to connect to the device port. For raw TCP, the TCP port number defined for TCP In to the device port is used. Note: If Ethernet Bonding is enabled, assigning individual IP Addresses to Device Ports is not supported. Note that the IP address will be bound to Eth1 only, so if Eth2 is connected and configured, and Eth1 is not, this feature will not work. Send Term String/Term String If Send Term String is enabled and a Term String is defined, when a network connection to a device port is terminated, the termination string is sent to the device connected to the device port. The string should be defined so that it sends the appropriate command(s) to the device to terminate any active user sessions, e.g. "logout" or "exit". The string may contain multiple commands separated by a newline ("\n") character. This is a security mechanism used to close sessions that are inadvertently left open by users. Data Settings Note: Check the serial device's equipment settings and documentation for the proper settings. The device port and the attached serial device must have the same settings. Baud Data Bits Stop Bits Parity Flow Control Enable Logins Max Direct Connects The speed with which the device port exchanges data with the attached serial device. From the drop-down list, select the baud rate. Most devices use 9600 for the administration port, so the device port defaults to this value. Check the equipment settings and documentation for the proper baud rate. The baud rate can also be set from the Power Management and Baud Rate menu. See the Device Ports Power Management page. Number of data bits used to transmit a character. From the drop-down list, select the number of data bits. The default is 8 data bits. The number of stop bit(s) used to indicate that a byte of data has been transmitted. From the drop-down list, select the number of stop bits. The default is 1. Parity checking is a rudimentary method of detecting simple, single-bit errors. From the drop-down list, select the parity. The default is none. A method of preventing buffer overflow and loss of data. The available methods include none, xon/xoff (software), and rts/cts (hardware). The default is none. For serial devices connected to the device port, displays a login prompt and authenticates users. Successfully authenticated users are logged into the command line interface. The default is disabled. This is the correct setting if the device port is the endpoint for a network connection. Enter the maximum number (1-15) of simultaneous connections for the device port. The default is 1.
