128 IOLAN SDS/SCS/STS/MDC User’s Guide, Version 4.0
Advanced Tab Field Descriptions
The Console Management Advanced tab configures serial port options that may be required by
certain applications.
Configure the following parameters:
Listen for
Connections on
TCP Port
The port number that the IOLAN will listen on for incoming TCP connections.
Default: 10001, depending on the serial port number
Enable IP Aliasing Enables/disables the ability to access a serial device connected to the serial port
by an IP address (or host name that can be resolved to the Internet Address in a
DNS network) instead of the IOLAN’s IP address and port number.
Default: Disabled
IP Address Users can access serial devices connected to the IOLAN through the network
by the specified Internet Address (or host name that can be resolved to the
Internet Address in a DNS network).
Field Format: IPv4 or IPv6 Address
Authenticate User Enables/disables login/password authentication for users connecting from the
network.
Default: Disabled
Enable TCP
Keepalive
Enables a per-connection TCP keepalive feature. After the configured number
of seconds, the connection will send a gratuitous ACK to the network peer,
thus either ensuring the connection stays active OR causing a dropped
connection condition to be recognized.
This parameter needs to be used in conjunction with
Monitor Connection
Status Interval
parameter found in the Serial, Advanced, Advanced Settings
tab. The interval specifies the inactivity period before "testing" the connection.
Default: Disabled
Enable Message of
the Day (MOTD)
