Serial Port Profiles
Enable Microsoft
Special
Administrator
Console (SAC)
support
When enabled, a user can access SAC (the interface of the Microsoft
Emergency Management Systems utility) through EasyPort Web when the
IOLAN’s serial port is connected to a Microsoft Server 2003 or Microsoft
Server 2008 host.
Default: Disabled
Multisessions The number of extra network connections available on a serial port, in addition
to the single session that is always available. Enabling multisessions will
permit multiple users to monitor the same console port. Each user monitoring
the port can be assigned different privileges to this port.
Range: Dependent on model:
z 1-port: 0-3
z 2-port: (4 x #-of-ports) -1
z STS/SDS 4+ ports: (2 x #-of-ports) -1
z SCS 4+ ports: (2 x (#-of-ports + 1)) -1
Default: 0
Idle Timeout Use this timer to close a connection because of inactivity. When the Idle
Timeout
expires, the IOLAN will end the connection.
Range: 0-4294967 seconds (about 49 days)
Default:
0 seconds so the port will never timeout
Break Handling Specifies how a break is interpreted.
Data Range:
z None—The IOLAN ignores the break key completely and it is not passed
through to the host.
z Local—The IOLAN deals with the break locally. If the user is in a
session, the break key has the same effect as a hot key.
z Remote—When the break key is pressed, the IOLAN translates this into a
telnet break signal which it sends to the host machine.
z Break Interrupt—On some systems such as SunOS, XENIX, and AIX, a
break received from the peripheral is not passed to the client properly. If
the client wishes to make the break act like an interrupt key (for example,
when the stty options
-ignbrk and brkintr are set).
Default: None
Dial In If the console port is remote and will be dialing in via modem or ISDN TA,
enable this parameter.
Default: Disabled
Dial Out If you want the modem to dial a number when the serial port is started, enable
this parameter.
Default: Disabled
Dial Timeout The number of seconds the IOLAN will wait to establish a connection to a
remote modem.
Range: 1-99
Default: 45 seconds
Dial Retry The number of times the IOLAN will attempt to re-establish a connection with
a remote modem.
Range: 0-99
Default: 2
