16 DS1800 Installer/User Guide
Terminal Operations
Each individual DS1800 may be configured at the unit level through the
Terminal port on the front of the unit. All terminal commands are accessed
through a terminal or PC running terminal emulation software.
Accessing the Terminal Menu
1. Connect a terminal or PC running terminal emulation software (such as
Hyperterminal) to the Terminal port on the front panel of the DS1800 using
the supplied null-modem cable. The terminal should be set to 9600 baud, 8
bits, 1 stop bit, no parity and no flow control. The terminal may be connected
at any time, even when the unit is powered.
2. Press any key to access the main menu.
Terminal Applications Menu Commands
The Terminal Applications menu of the DS1800 features seven selections:
Network Configuration, Security Configuration, Firmware Management,
Enable Debug Messages, Set/Change Password, Configure Sun Keyboard
Layout Code and Exit. Each are discussed below.
Network configuration
The DS1800 is configured for network access through this option. When it is
selected, you will have access to the addressing that allows the DS1800 to be
positioned in your network.
Security configuration
This menu option allows you to configure DS1800 authentication security. When
it is selected, you will be given two menu options: Reset Authentication Tokens
and Authentication Server Connection Status.
The DS1800 operates in one of two modes: All or Secure. This setting is
controlled from the Security menu on the DS1800 console port. In the default
All mode, the DS1800 allows any authentication server to initiate a session
between the DS1800 and DSView. In Secure mode, only one specific authenti-
cation server is allowed to initiate this session; other authentication servers
are locked out.
NOTE: In secure mode the ability to select a backup authentication server through DSView
is eliminated.
