Serial Port Profiles
Advanced Tab Field Descriptions
Configure the following parameters:
Authenticate User Enables/disables login/password authentication for users connecting from the
network.
Default: Disabled
Enable TCP
Keepalive
Enables a per-connection TCP keepalive feature. After the configured number
of seconds, the connection will send a gratuitous ACK to the network peer,
thus either ensuring the connection stays active OR causing a dropped
connection condition to be recognized.
This parameter needs to be used in conjunction with
Monitor Connection
Status Interval parameter found in the Serial, Advanced, Advanced Settings
tab. The interval determines how long the IOLAN will wait during inactivity
before "testing" the connection. It should be noted that if a network connection
is accidentally dropped, it can take as long as the specified interval before
anyone can reconnect to the serial port.
Default: Disabled
Enable Message of
the Day (MOTD)
Enables/disables the display of the message of the day.
Default: Disabled
Idle Timeout Use this timer to close a connection because of inactivity. When the Idle
Timeout
expires, the IOLAN will end the connection.

Range: 0-4294967 seconds (about 49 days)
Session Timeout Use this timer to forcibly close the session/connection when the Session
Timeout
expires.

this parameter.
