Configuring the Wireless Array 223
3. Telnet:
a. On/Off: Choose On to enable Array management over a Telnet
connection, or Off to disable this feature. SSH offers a more secure
connection than Telnet, and is recommended over Telnet.
b. Connection Timeout 30-100000 (Seconds): Enter a value in this field
to define the timeout (in seconds) before your Telnet connection is
disconnected. The value you enter here must be between 30 seconds
and 100,000 seconds.
c. Port: Enter a value in this field to define the port used by Telnet.
The default port is 23.
4. Xircon
The Xircon utility is not used with XN Arrays. For those Arrays, this
setting should always be turned Off.
The Xircon utility connects to Xirrus Arrays that are not reachable via the
normal access methods (such as SSH or WMI) and that do not have a
physical console port (XR-1000 models), or whose console port is not
accessible. Please see “Securing Low Level Access to the Array” on
page 78 for more information about Xircon. You can enable or disable
Xircon access to the Array as instructed below.
a. On/Off: Choose On to enable Xircon access to the Array at the
ArrayOS (CLI) and Xirrus Boot Loader (XBL) levels, or Off to disable
access at both levels. On XR-1000 Array models only, Xircon access is
On by default. On all other Array models, Xircon access is Off by
default.
b. ArrayOS only: Choose this radio button to enable Xircon access at the
ArrayOS level only (i.e., Xircon can access CLI only). Access to the
Array at the Xirrus Boot Loader (XBL) level is disabled.
!
Warning: If you disable Xircon access completely on XR-1000 models, you
must ensure that you do not lose track of the username and password to log in
to CLI/WMI! There is no way to recover from a lost password, other than
returning the Array to Xirrus.
