You are now connected to the R-Port module in a live terminal session. Commands
you type will be echoed on the terminal screen. The module also offers a simple menu
system that allows you to change configuration settings (similar to the function of the
menus in a terminal software package). Press [Ctrl] - [Shift] – [_] (underscore) on the
keyboard to access the menu. It will be similar to the following:
RS-232 Menu (#1: (none), 115200 bps, 8N1)
Q – Disconnect
# - Send break
H – Hangup line (drop DCD)
E – Send Ctrl-Shift-_
L – Low log entries (line buffer)
1 – Show last 10 log entries
other – Return to connection
Press key ->
To execute the desired command, 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 RPORT 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 CABCONS1716I 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.
