Command Reference Guide
/C Connect to Serial Port
When the RJ-45 SetUp Port has been configured as a Normal Mode Port as described in
Section 5.8, the /C command can be used to create a connection between the Network
port and the SetUp Port.
Notes:
• User level accounts can only connect to the SetUp Port when serial port
access is specifically permitted by the account.
• To terminate a port connection, either type ^X ([Ctrl] plus [X]) or invoke the
currently defined disconnect sequence.
Availability: Administrator, SuperUser, User
Format: /C 1 [Enter]
/U Send Parameters to File
Sends all VMR/NPS configuration parameters to an ASCII text file as described in
Section 15. This allows you to back up the configuration of your VMR/NPS unit.
Availability: Administrator
Format: /U [Enter]
/K Send SSH Key
Instructs the VMR/NPS to provide you with a public SSH key for validation purposes.
This public key can then be provided to your SSH client, in order to prevent the SSH
client from warning you that the user is not recognized when you attempt to create an
SSH connection. For more information, please refer to Section 10.
Availability: Administrator
Format: /K k [Enter]
Where k is a required argument, which indicates the key type. The k argument
provides the following options: 1 (SSH1), 2 (SSH2 RSA), 3 (SSH2 DSA.)
/UL Unlock Port (Invalid Access Lockout)
Manually cancels the VMR/NPS’s Invalid Access Lockout feature. Normally, when a
series of failed login attempts are detected, the Invalid Access Lockout feature can shut
down the network port for a user specified time period in order to prevent further access
attempts. When the /UL command is invoked, the VMR/NPS will immediately unlock all
network ports that are currently in the locked state.
Availability: Administrator
Format: /UL [Enter]
Response: The VMR/NPS will unlock all VMR/NPS RS232 Ports.
