Server Commands

netmask

The network subnet mask. For example, 255.255.0.0.

oem-login

When set, and a custom language file is in use, the login prompt will use the string

defined in the language file as the login prompt instead of the default prompt,

login:

.

password-limit

The number of attempts a user is allowed to enter a password for a serial port

connection from the network, before the connection is terminated and the user has to
attempt to login again. For users logging into the serial port, if this limit is exceeded,

the serial port is disabled for 5 minutes. A user with Admin level rights can restart the

serial port, bypassing the timeout, by issuing a kill on the disabled serial port. The
default value is

3

.

prompt-with-name

Displays the

Server Name

field value instead of default product name. When enabled,

the

Server Name

is displayed in the IOLAN login prompt, CLI prompt, WebManager

login screen, and the heading of the Menu. The default value is

Off

.

single-telnet

In this mode of operation, the IOLAN will only allow for a single TCP connection at a

time to exist for each serial port configured for a reverse connection type. Subsequent

connection attempts will be refused until all of the following conditions are met;

z

No active connection to serial port exists and at least 1 second has passed since last

connection was terminated.

z

All data from previous connection on the serial port has been transmitted.

The IOLAN has logic to automatically detect when a reverse connection is no longer

active. When this happens, the connection is reset and the server can go back to a

listening for an incoming connection

state.

Applications using Single Telnet need to be aware that there can be some considerable

delay between a network disconnection and the port being available for the next

connection attempt; this is to allow any data sent on prior connections to be transmitted
out of the serial port. Application network retry logic needs to accommodate this

feature. The default value is

Off

.

retry

The number of times the IOLAN will attempt to transfer (using TFTP) a file to/from a

host. Enter a value between 0 and 5. The default is 5. A value of 0 (zero) means that the
IOLAN will not attempt a retry should TFTP fail.

timeout

The time, in seconds, that the IOLAN will wait for a successful transmit or receipt of

TFTP packets before retrying a TFTP transfer. Enter a value between 3 and 10. The

default is

3

seconds.

data-logging-buffer-size

The minimum data buffer size for all models is 1 KB. 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.
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)
