Options

duplicate-nfs-to-syslog

When enabled, buffered data is sent to the syslog host to be viewed on the host’s
monitor. The default is off.

key-stroke-buffering

When enabled, key strokes that are sent from the network host to the serial device on
the IOLAN’s serial port are buffered. The default is off.

mode

Specifies where the port buffer log is kept, either

Off

,

Local

,

Remote

, or

Both

. If

Remote

or

Both

is selected, you must specify an NFS server location for the port buffer

log.

nfs-directory

The directory and/or subdirectories where the

Remote Port Buffering

files will be

created. This field is used when Port Buffering

Mode

is set to

Remote

or

Both

. For

multiple IOLANs using the same NFS host, it is recommended that each IOLAN have
its own unique directory to house the remote port log files. The default is

/device_server/portlogs

.

nfs-encryption

Determines if the data sent to the NFS host is sent encrypted or in the clear across the
LAN. The default is set of

Off

.

NOTE: When NFS encryption is enabled, the Decoder utility software is required to be
installed on the NFS host for decrypting the data to a readable format. The Decoder
utility software can be found on the installation CD-ROM and on the

www.perle.com

website.

nfs-host

The NFS host that the IOLAN will use for its

Remote Port Buffering

feature. The

IOLAN will open a file on the NFS host for each reverse SSH or reverse Telnet line,
and send any port data to be written to those files. The default is

None

. This field is

required when

Mode

is set to

Remote

or

Both

.

time-stamp

Enable/disable time stamping of the port buffer data.

view-port-buffer-string

The string (up to 8 characters) used by a a session connected to a serial port to display
the port buffer for that particular serial port. You can specify control (unprintable) codes
by putting the decimal value in angle brackets < > (for example,

Escape b

is

<027>b

).

The default is

~view

.
