Press key ->
To execute the desired command, simply press the corresponding key
on the keyboard. You can also execute the command and avoid the
menu by pressing the [Ctrl] – [Shift] – [_] key combination quickly and
pressing the letter of the command. To quit the menu, press [Q] on the
keyboard when the menu is active. These commands are not sent to
the device you are managing and relate to the R-PORT module itself.
Remote Login via SSH
You can also use a standard SSH client to access the R-Port options if
you wish to avoid using the Java-based SSH client in the Web interface.
Simply use your SSH client (several freeware packages are available
for download, along with commercial applications) and connect to the
IP address of the SV1115IPEXT using port 22 (default).
Log in to the SSH session as admin using the same password as the
Web interface. At the command prompt type connect x (where x is the
number of the R-Port devices you wish to manage). Alternatively, you
can enter the command connect -l to see a list of active devices.
Operating Notes

If the power supply to the R-Port modules you have connected

becomes faulty (short, overload) then the R-Port LED on the front
panel of the SV1115IPEXT will show red. Under normal operations,
this light should remain green. The R-Port connector on the rear
panel also has an LED that mirrors the status of the light on the front
panel. (

Note: The rear LED status was reversed on some early units,

where red=normal and green=fault. This does not affect operation in
any way, but a green LED on the front panel and a red LED on the
rear panel indicates that you have one of these units.)
Hardware handshaking (CTS/RTS) is required for speeds exceeding

9600 bps. It is enabled by default on the SV1115IPEXT, but may
need to be enabled on the other end of the connection. For Unix
systems, the command is:
