Chapter 6 – Terminal Operations
Accessing the Terminal Menu
Each individual DSR may be configured at the unit level through the Configu-
ration port on the back of the unit. All Terminal Commands are accessed
through a terminal or PC running terminal emulation software.
To access the Terminal menu
1. Connect a terminal or PC running terminal emulation software (such as
Hyperterminal) to the confi guration port on the back panel of the DSR
using the supplied null-modem cable. The terminal should be set to 9600
baud, 8 bits, 1 stop bit, no parity and no fl ow control. The terminal may be
connected at any time, even when the unit is powered.
2. Press any key to access the Main menu.
Terminal applications menu commands
The Terminal Applications menu of the DSR features seven selections: Net-
work Configuration, Security Configuration, Firmware Management, Enable
Debug Messages, Set/Change Password, Configure Sun keyboard layout code
and Exit. Each are discussed below.
Network configuration
The DSR is configured for Network Access through this option. When it is
selected, you will have access to the addressing that allows the DSR to be
positioned in your network.
Security configuration
This menu option allows you to configure DSR authentication security. When it
is selected, you will be given two menu options: Reset security keys (Authenti-
cation Server certificates) and Authentication Server connection status.
The DSR operates in one of two modes: All or Secure. This setting is controlled
from the Security menu on the DSR console port. In the default All mode,
the DSR allows any Authentication Server to initiate a session between the
DSR and DSView. In Secure mode, only one specific Authentication Server is
allowed to initiate this session; other Authentication Servers are locked out.
NOTE: In secure mode the ability to select a backup authentication server through DSView
is eliminated.
When a DSR is added to the database with DSAdmin, the appropriate Authenti-
cation Server certificate is added to the DSR automatically. If DSAuthentication
cannot contact the DSR to add the certificate, an error message is displayed and
the DSR is not added to the database.
