Serial Port Settings
The SmartView World Serial settings
allow you to specify which devices
are connected to the front panel
serial port and how to use it. The
port may be used for different
purposes. All possible options are
listed and described below.
Conguration login
Don’t use the serial port for any
special function, use it only for the
initial conguration.
Modem
Serial line speed
The speed that the SmartView World
is communicating with the modem.
Most of all modems available today
will support the default value of
115200 bps. In case you are using an
old modem and discovering problems try to lower this speed.
Modem Init String
The initialization string used by the SmartView World to initialize the modem.
The default value will work with all modern standard modems directly
connected to a telephone line. In case you have a special modem or the modem
is connected to a local telephone switch that requires a special dial sequence
in order to establish a connection to the public telephone network, you can
change this setting by giving a new string. Refer to the modem’s manual about
the AT command syntax.
Client IP address
This IP address will be assigned to your console computer during the PPP
handshake. Since it is a point-to-point IP connection virtually every IP address is
possible but you must make sure, it is not interfering with the IP settings of the
SmartView World and your console computer. The default value will work in
most cases.
IPMI over Serial
Enables the possibility to use this serial port for IPMI 1.5 over serial.
Passthrough access to serial port via Telnet
Using this option, it is possible to connect an arbitrary device to the serial
port and access it (assuming it provides terminal support) via telnet. Select the
appropriate options for the serial port and use the Telnet Console or a standard
telnet client to connect to the SmartView World.
LDAP Settings
With the SmartView World you have
the possibility to keep authentication
information in a central LDAP
directory. To use this feature you
need to congure an LDAP server
that contains this information.
The settings are explained in the
following.
User LDAP Server
Here you enter the name or
IP address of the LDAP server
containing all the user entries. If you choose a name instead of an IP address you
need to congure a DNS server in the network settings.
Base DN of User LDAP Server
Here you specify the distinguished name (DN) where the directory tree starts in
the user LDAP server.
Type of external LDAP Server
With this option you set the type of the external LDAP server. This is necessary
since some server types require special handling. Additionally the default values
for the LDAP schema are set appropriately. You can choose between Generic
LDAP Server, Novell Directory Service and Microsoft Active Directory. If you have
neither Novell Directory Service nor Microsoft Active Directory then choose
Generic LDAP Server and edit the LDAP schema used (see below).
Name of login-name attribute
This is the name of the attribute containing the unique login name of a user. To
use the default leave this eld empty. The default depends on the selected LDAP
server type.
Name of user-entry objectclass
This is the objectclass that identies a user in the LDAP directory. To use the
default leave this eld empty. The default depends on the selected LDAP server
type.
User search sublter
Here you can rene the search for users that should be known to the SmartView
World.
