Configuring Ports
Ports Configuration Menu
Target serial ports are configured from the CLI using the ports menu. In
addition to the description of the physical nature of the ports, other
services may also be defined, including:
 The escape sequence used to disconnect from the port to access the
emulator to send breaks or control multi user functions such as Ctrl +
a.
 The exit string sent to the target when an idle timeout occurs. By
sending the exit string, the port is disconnected from the Dominion
SX and the next user logging in to the port will have to log in to the
target as well. (Cisco router example: logout)
 The addresses used for direct port addressing. Direct port
addressing can use an individual IP address per port or a unique
TCP Port address per port. Direct Port Addressing is supported by
both Telnet and SSH. See Direct Port Access (on page 46) for
details.
