Console Server Features Configuring Menu Mode
3-3
The following example configures an emailsite for the second serial port.
Figure 3-3: Configuring an Email Site
Dynamic print variables can be used with all of these command strings. For a complete list of available
variables, see Define Email on page 12-49.
To enable email notification for a port, use the Define Ports Event Email Serialdata command. This
command also sets the port’s access to Access Remote.
Note: Email notification only works on ports that have port buffering enabled.
Figure 3-4: Enabling Email Notification
The List Email command can be used to show the emailsite configurations for one or more emailsites.
If network logging is enabled (Set/Define Logging Network Enabled), any errors that occur during email
notification are stored in the system log. System logging is discussed in Chapter 11, Security.
3.4 Configuring Menu Mode
When a port is in menu mode, users who log into the port will be presented with a list of menu options. Their
choices are limited to those displayed in the menu, as they will not be permitted to enter text commands.
Figure 3-5: Sample Menu
Menus can be configured one of two ways: by entering title and item entries individually with the web
browser interface or at the command line, or by creating a menu configuration file.
To enable menu mode on a particular port, use the Set/Define Ports Menu command.
Figure 3-6: Enabling Menu Mode on a Port
To display the current menu, use the Show/Monitor/List Menu command. If you are using a menu
configuration file, this command will not work—you must view that file to see the menus.
