Force DCD: Forces the Carrier Detect signal to be active at all times. Normally,
DCD becomes active when a new user connects and is dropped when the last user
disconnects (a response that is similar to many modems). When active, the device will
logout and reset itself if the carrier signal is lost, increasing security.
NOTE: This may not work with all devices and could impair proper operation in some
circumstances. The default setting is off.
Console Log: Clicking this link will open a separate Web page that will display the
last 200 characters committed to that device’s console log. Note that existing data is
overwritten automatically when the 200 character limit is reached.
You can simultaneously make any required changes on this menu, before applying
your changes. Once complete, click Commit changes to apply the new settings. Click
Refresh at any time to see an updated list of attached R-Port modules.
Advanced Configuration Using the Integrated SSH Shell
In most cases, configuring the CABCONS1716I to the same settings as the R-Port
devices you are connecting should allow the devices to work with a minimum amount
of configuration. However, you can also change the default settings on each R-Port
device to fit your preferences and the needs of your application.
If you click the Connect… button next to the device you want to configure, two
new windows will appear. The smaller of the two is a login screen; the other is an
SSH terminal window. Click the login window and sign in as admin (using the same
password as the Web interface) to activate the terminal window. You will see a
welcome banner similar to the following:
