8: Device Ports
SLB™ Branch Office Manager User Guide 86
To enter device port settings:
1. Enter the following:
Mode
The status of the port; displays automatically.
Name
The name of the port. Valid characters are letters, numbers,
dashes (-), periods, and underscores ( _ ).
Banner
Text to display when a user connects to a device port by
means of Telnet, SSH, or TCP. If authentication is enabled
for the device port, the banner displays once the user
successfully logs in. Blank is the default.
Break Sequence
A series of one to ten characters users can enter on the
command line interface to send a break signal to the external
device. A suggested value is Esc+B (escape key, then
uppercase “B” performed quickly but not simultaneously).
You would specify this value as \x1bB, which is hexadecimal
(\x) character 27 (1B) followed by a B.
Logging Click the Settings link to configure file logging, email logging,
local logging, and PC Card logging. (See Device Ports –
Logging on page 98.)
Zero Port Counters
Resets all of the numerical values in the Port Counters table
at the bottom of the page to zero (0).
Connected to
The type of device connected to the device port. Presently,
the SLB branch office manager supports SLP power
manager (SLP8 and SLP16) and Sensorsoft devices. If the
type of device is not listed, select undefined.
If you select anything other than undefined, click Device
Commands. The appropriate web page displays.
IP Settings
Enable Telnet In
Enables access to this port through Telnet. Disabled by
default.
Enable SSH In
Enables access to this port through SSH. Disabled by
default.
Enable TCP in
Enables access to this port through a raw TCP connection.
Disabled by default.
Note: When using raw TCP connections to transmit binary
data, or where the break command (escape sequence) is not
required, set the Break Sequence of the respective device
port to null (clear it).
Port
Automatically assigned Telnet, SSH, and TCP port numbers.
(See 8: Device Ports for information on setting up the
numbering scheme.) You may override this value, if desired.
Authenticate
If selected, the SLB branch office manager requires user
authentication before granting access to the port.
Authenticate is selected by default for Telnet in and SSH
in, but not for TCP in.
