Basic Configuration
PingAccess: Enables/Disables response to the ping command. When Disabled,
the VMR/NPS will not respond to Ping commands. Note that disabling Ping Access
at the Network Port will not effect the Ping-No-Access Alarm. (Default = On.)
RawSocketAccess: Enables/disables Raw Socket Protocol access to the
Network Port via Direct Connect and selects the port number for Raw Socket
Access. This item can be used to enable or disable Raw Socket Protocol access
and select either port 23 or port 3001 for use for Raw Socket connections.
(Default = Off.)
Notes:
The Raw Socket Access option is often useful for users who encounter
network problems when attempting to communicate with the VMR/NPS using
a script that was previously written for our legacy IPS product line.
If the "On (23)" option is selected, you must either disable Telnet Port 23 or
use the Telnet Access option to select a port other than Port 23.
When the Raw Socket Access option is enabled, you must connect to
the VMR/NPS using the port number selected for Raw Socket Access.
For example, if the VMR/NPS IP address is "1.2.3.4", and port 3001 has
been selected for Raw Socket Acess, in order to establish a Raw Socket
connection to the VMR/NPS's Network Port, then on a UNIX system, the
connection command would be: $ telnet 1.2.3.4 3001 [Enter].
