8: Device Ports
SLB™ Branch Office Manager User Guide 102
Text String
The specific pattern of characters the SLB branch
office manager must recognize before sending a
notification to the technician about this port. The
maximum is 100 characters. You may use a regular
expression to define the pattern. For example, the
regular expression “abc[def]g” recognizes the strings
abcdg, abceg, abcfg.
The SLB device supports GNU regular expressions; for
more information, see:

Email to
The complete email address of the message recipient(s)
for each device port(s). Each device port has its own
recipient list. To enter more than one email address,
separate the addresses with a single space. You can
enter up to 128 characters.
Email Subject
A subject text appropriate for your site. May have up
to 128 characters.
The email subject line is pre-defined for each port with its
port number. You can use the email subject to inform the
desired recipients of the problem on a certain server or
location (e.g., server location or other classification of your
equipment). This is helpful if the email message goes to
the system administrator’s or service technician's mobile or
wireless device (e.g., text messaging by means of email).
Note: The character sequence %d anywhere in the email
subject is replaced with the device port number
automatically.
NFS File Logging
NFS File Logging
Select the checkbox to log all data sent to the device port
to one or more files on an external NFS server. Disabled
by default.
Directory to Log to
The path of the directory where the log files will be stored.
Note: This directory must be a directory exported from an
NFS server mounted on the SLB branch office manager.
Specify the local directory path for the NFS mount.
Max Number of
Files
The maximum number of files to create to contain log data
to the port. These files keep a history of the data received
from the port. Once this limit is exceeded, the oldest file is
overwritten. The default is 10.
Max Size of Files
The maximum allowable file size in bytes. The default is
2048 bytes. Once the maximum size of a file is reached,
the SLB device begins generating a new file.
