Basic Configuration 5.3.4. Callback Security The Callback function provides an additional layer of security when callers attempt to access command mode via modem. When this function is properly configured, modem users will not be granted immediate access to command mode upon entering a valid password; instead, the unit will disconnect, and dial a user-defined number before allowing access via that number. If desired, users may also be required to re-enter the password after the TSM/RSM dials back.
Basic Configuration • Callback Attempts: The number of times that the TSM/RSM will attempt to contact the Callback number. (Default = 3 attempts.) • Callback Delay: The amount of time that the TSM/RSM will wait between Callback attempts. (Default = 30 seconds.) Notes: • After configuring and enabling Callback Security, you must then define a callback phone number for each desired user account (as described in Section 5.5) in order for this feature to function properly.
Basic Configuration 5.4. User Accounts Each time you attempt to access command mode, you will be prompted to enter a username (login) and password. The username and password entered at login determine which serial port(s) and plug(s) you will be allowed to control and what type of commands you will be allowed to invoke. Each username / password combination is defined within a "user account.
Basic Configuration In the default state, the TSM/RSM includes one predefined account that provides access to Administrator commands and allows to control of all of the TSM/RSM's serial ports and switched power outlets. The default username for this account is "super" (lowercase, no quotation marks), and the password for the account is also "super".
Basic Configuration 5.4.3. Granting Plug Access Each account can be granted access to a different selection of switched power outlets (plugs) and plug groups. When accounts are created, the Plug Access parameter and the Plug Group Access parameter in the Add User menu or Modify User menu can be used to grant or deny access to each plug or plug group by that account. Note: Power switching functions are only available on RSM-8R Series units.
Basic Configuration 5.5. Managing User Accounts The User Directory function is employed to create new accounts, display parameters for existing accounts, modify accounts and delete accounts. Up to 128 different user accounts can be created. The "User Directory" function is only available when you have logged into command mode using an account that permits Administrator commands.
Basic Configuration • Port Access: Determines which TSM/RSM Serial Ports this account will be allowed to access. (Defaults; Administrator & SuperUser = All Ports On, User and ViewOnly = All Ports Off.) Notes: • Administrator and SuperUser level accounts will always have access to all Serial Ports. • ViewOnly accounts are allowed to display the status of Serial Ports, but are limited to the ports specified by the account. ViewOnly accounts are not allowed to create connections between ports.
Basic Configuration • Service Access: Determines whether this account will be able to access command mode via Serial Port, Telnet/SSH or Web. For example, if Telnet/SSH Access is disabled for this account, then this account will not be able to access command mode via Telnet or SSH. (Default = Serial Port = On, Telnet/SSH = On, Web = On, Outbound Access = Off.) Note: The Service Access Parameter is only used to select permitted access services for an individual user account.
Basic Configuration 5.5.3. Modifying User Accounts The "Modify User Directory" function allows you to edit existing user accounts in order to change parameters, port and plug access rights or Administrator Command capability. Note that the Modify User function is only available when you have entered command mode using a password that permits Administrator Level commands.
Basic Configuration 5.6. The Plug Group Directory Note: Power control functions are only available on RSM-8R Series units. The Plug Group Directory is not present on standard TSM Series units and standard RSM Series units. The Plug Group Directory allows you to designate "groups" of plugs that are dedicated to a similar function, and will most likely be switched or rebooted all at the same time or controlled by the same type of user account.
Basic Configuration 5.6.1. Viewing Plug Groups Note: Power control functions are only available on RSM-8R Series units. The Plug Group Directory is not present on standard TSM Series units and standard RSM Series units. The "View Plug Group Directory" option allows you to view the configuration of each Plug Group. Note that the View Plug Group Directory function is only available when you have accessed command mode using a password that permits Administrator Level commands. 5.6.2.
Basic Configuration 5.6.3. Modifying Plug Groups Note: Power control functions are only available on RSM-8R Series units. The Plug Group Directory is not present on standard TSM Series units and standard RSM Series units. The "Modify Plug Group" function allows you to edit existing Plug Groups in order to change plug access rights. Note that this function is only available when you have accessed command mode using a password that permits Administrator Level commands.
Basic Configuration 5.7. Defining Plug Parameters - (RSM-8R Series Units Only) The Plug Parameters Menu is used to define Plug Names, boot/sequence delay times and Power Up Default values for each of the TSM/RSM's Switched AC Outlets. Note that this function is only available when you have accessed command mode using a password that permits Administrator Level commands. To define Plug Parameters via the Text Interface, type /PL and then press [Enter] to display the Plug Parameters Menu.
Basic Configuration • Power Up Default: Determines how this plug will react when the "Default All Plugs" command (/DPL) is invoked, or after power to the unit has been interrupted and then restored. After the default command is invoked, or power is restored, the TSM/RSM will automatically switch each plug On or Off as specified by the PowerUp Default. (Default = On).
Basic Configuration 5.7.1. The Boot Priority Parameter (RSM-8R Series Units Only) Normally, when an "On" or "Reboot" command is invoked, the TSM/RSM will switch on it's plugs in their default, numeric order. Although in many cases, the default, numeric order will work fine, there are other cases where an individual device (such as a router) must be switched on first, in order to support a second device that will be switched on later.
Basic Configuration 5.7.1.2. Example 2: Change Plug 4 to Priority 2 In the second Example shown in Figure 5.2, we start out with Boot Priorities for the plugs set as they were at the end of Example 1; Plug 3 is first, Plug 1 is second, Plug 2 is third and Plug 4 is fourth. Next, the Boot Priority for Plug 4 is changed to Priority 2. This means that Plug 3 will continue to be switched on first after a reboot, but now Plug 4 will be switched on second, Plug 1 will be third and Plug 2 will be fourth.
Basic Configuration 5.8. Serial Port Configuration The Serial Port Configuration menus allow you to select parameters for the TSM/RSM's Serial Ports as well as the Internal Modem Port. The Serial Ports can be configured for connection to a local PC or Modem. In addition, the Serial Port Configuration menu can also be used to set communications parameters, disable Administrator level commands and also select a number of other Serial Port Parameters described in Section 5.8.2.

9. Operation As discussed in Section 5, the TSM/RSM offers two separate command interfaces; the Web Browser Interface and the Text Interface. Both interfaces offer essentially the same options and features, and in most cases, parameters defined via the Web Browser Interface will also apply when communicating via the Text Interface (and vice versa.) 9.1. Connecting and Disconnecting Serial Ports - Text Interface The Text Interface can be used to create connections between TSM/RSM serial ports.
Operation 9.1.1.1. Connecting Ports - Text Interface Two different types of connections can be made between TSM/RSM serial ports; Resident Connections and Third Party Connections The TSM/RSM allows communication between devices without the requirement that both ports use the same communication parameters. • Resident Connections: Your resident port issues a /C command to connect to a second port. For example, Port 4 issues the /C command to connect to Port 5.
Operation To Connect ports using the Text Interface, proceed as follows: 1. Access command mode via the Text Interface. 2. Invoke the /C command to connect the desired ports. a) Resident Connect: To connect your resident port to another port, type /C xx [Enter]. Where xx is the number or name of the port you want to connect. The TSM/RSM will display the numbers of the connected ports, along with the command required in order to disconnect the two ports.
Operation 9.1.1.2. Disconnecting Ports - Text Interface The Text Interface provides three different methods for disconnecting ports, the Resident Disconnect, the Third Party Disconnect, and the No Activity Timeout. Providing the Timeout feature is enabled, a No Activity Timeout will disconnect resident ports or third party ports. Note: The "DTR Output" option in the Port Parameters menu determines how DTR will react when the port disconnects. DTR can be held low, held high, or pulsed and then held high.
Operation d) 3. The /D command can also disconnect a remote user from the Network Port. This is useful in cases where a user has unsuccessfully disconnected via Telnet, and you can’t wait for the TSM/RSM to timeout in order to free up the TCP port. To disconnect a TCP port, type /D Nn and then press [Enter]. Where Nn is one of the TSM/RSM’s logical TCP ports (e.g. /D N2 [Enter]).
Operation 9.1.1.3. The Port Control Screen - Web Browser Interface In the Web Browser Interface, the Port Control Screen can be used to disconnect TSM/RSM serial ports that have been connected using the /C command in the Text Interface as described in Section 9.1.1.1. To disconnect ports using the Port Control Screen, first access the TSM/RSM Command Mode via the Web Browser Interface as described in Section 5.1.
Operation 9.1.1.4. Defining Hunt Groups - Text Interface A Hunt Group creates a situation where the TSM/RSM will scan a group of similarly named ports and connect to the first available port in the group. Hunt Groups are created by assigning identical or similar names to two or more ports. Hunt Groups can be defined using Any-to-Any, Passive, Buffer, or Modem Mode Ports. Note that the Network Port cannot be included in Hunt Groups. 1.
Operation 9.1.2. Passive Mode Passive Mode Ports function the same as Any-to-Any Mode Ports, but do not allow access to command mode. A Passive Mode Port can be connected to other serial ports, but cannot enter command mode, and therefore cannot define parameters, display status, or invoke commands to connect ports or control power switching. The Passive Mode is the default at Serial Ports 2 and above.
Operation If the buffer contains data, the TSM/RSM will display a prompt that offers the following options: • Display One Screen: To send data one screen at a time, press [Enter]. Each time [Enter] is pressed, the next screen is sent. • Display All Data: To send all data currently stored in the buffer, type 1 and press [Enter]. • Erase Data on Screen: To erase the data currently displayed on-screen, type 2 and press [Enter].
Operation 9.1.3.2. Port Buffers The Status Screen lists the amount of Buffer Memory currently used by each port. The TSM/RSM uses buffer memory in two different ways, depending on the user-selected port mode. • Any-to-Any, Passive, and Modem Mode Ports: When two ports are communicating at dissimilar baud rates, the buffer memory prevents data overflow at the slower port. • Buffer Mode Ports: Stores data received from connected devices.
Operation 9.1.4. Modem Mode The Modem Mode provides features specifically related to modem communication. A Modem Mode Port can perform all functions normally available in Any-to-Any Mode. The Modem Mode is available at all TSM/RSM ports except the Network Port. When a call is received, the unit will prompt the caller to enter a username and password. The TSM/RSM allows three attempts to enter a valid username and password.
