Line Commands
hotkey-prefix
The prefix that a user types to lock a line or redraw the Menu. The default value is hex
01
, which corresponds to Ctrl-a (^a) (hex value 02 would be Ctrl-b (^b), etc.):
z ^a l—(Lowercase L) Locks the line until the user unlocks it. The user is prompted
for a password (any password, excluding spaces) and locks the line. Next, the user
must retype the password to unlock the line.
z ^r—When you switch from a session back to the Menu, the screen may not be
redrawn correctly. If this happens, use this command to redraw it properly.
You can use the
Hotkey Prefix key to lock a line only when the Line Lock parameter is
On.
idle-timer
Enter a time period, in seconds, for which the Idle Timer will run. Use this timer to
close a connection because of inactivity. When the
Idle Timer expires, the IOLAN will
end the connection. The maximum value is 4294967 seconds (about 49 days). The
default value of
0 (zero) means the Idle Timer will not expire, so the connection is
permanently open.
data-logging
When enabled, serial data will be buffered if the TCP connection is lost. When the TCP
connection is re-established, the buffered serial data will be sent to its destination .
Note: A kill line or a reboot of the IOLAN causes all buffered data to be lost.
The minimum data buffer size for all models is 1K. The maximum data buffer size is
2000 KB for DS1/TS1/STS8D, all other models the maximum size is 4000 KB. If the
data buffer is filled, incoming serial data will overwrite the oldest data.
Some profile features are not compatible when using the Data Logging feature. See
Data Logging Appendix H in the IOLAN User’s Guide for more information.
Data logging is only valid for Trueport and TCP Sockets profiles.
Values: 1-2000 KB (DS1/TS1/STS8D)
Values: 1-4000 KB (all other models)
Default Buffer Size: 4 KB (DS1/TS1/STS8D)
Default Buffer Size: 256 KB (all other models)
Default: Disabled
initial
Specifies the initial interface a user navigates when logging into the line; either the
Menu or a prompt for the CLI. The default is CLI.
initiate-connection
Initiates a Telnet connection to the specified host when any data is received by the
serial port or when the specified character is received by the serial port (direct Telnet
only).
internet-address
Used with reverse sessions, users can access serial devices connected to the IOLAN by
the specified Internet Address (or host name that can be resolved by a DNS). You must
reboot the IOLAN for the
Internet Address to take affect (the kill line option does not
apply to this parameter).
