Chapter 4: Terminal Operations
Accessing the Terminal Applications Menu
Each DSR1021 switch may be configured at the appliance level through the
SETUP port on the back of the switch. All terminal commands are accessed
through a terminal or PC running terminal emulation software.
To access the Terminal Applications menu:
1. Connect a terminal or PC running terminal emulation software (such as
HyperTerminal) to the SETUP port on the back panel of the DSR switch
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 appliance is powered.
2. Press any key to access the Main menu.
Terminal Applications menu commands
The Terminal Applications menu of the DSR1021 switch features ten
selections: Network Configuration, PPP Configuration, Security
Configuration, SNMP Configuration, Firmware Management, Enable Debug
Messages, Set/Change Password, Restore Factory Defaults, Reset Appliance
and Exit. Each is discussed below.
Network Confi guration
The DSR1021 switch is configured for network access through this option.
When it is selected, you will have access to the addressing that allows the
DSR1021 switch to be positioned in your network.
PPP Confi guration
The DSR1021 switch contains an internal database that may be used when
establishing a modem link to the appliance. The internal database provides
DSView software remote authentication if the DSAuth Server is unavailable.
The PPP Configuration menu contains the following options:
• Enabling the adding, editing and deleting of users to the DSR1021
switch database
• Specifying the amount of time a DSR switch user has to log in during a
remote operation over a modem connection before the connection is dis-
connected (the Authentication Timeout value)
• Specifying the amount of time a DSR switch user may remain inactive
within a remote DSView software session over a modem connection
before the modem connection is disabled (the Inactivity Timeout value)
