Line Commands

IOLAN SDS/SCS/STS CLI Reference Guide, Version 3.6

keepalive

Enables a per-connection TCP keepalive feature. After the configured number of
seconds, the connection will send a gratuitous ACK to the network peer, thus either
ensuring the connection stays active OR causing a dropped connection condition to be
recognized.

This parameter needs to be used in conjunction with server parameter,
monitor-connection-every. The interval determines how long the IOLAN will wait
during inactivity before "testing" the connection. It should be noted that if a network
connection is accidentally dropped, it can take as long as the specified interval before
anyone can reconnect to the serial port.

lock

When enabled, the user can lock his terminal with a password using the

Hotkey Prefix

(default Ctrl-a)

^a l

(lowercase L). The IOLAN prompts the user for a password and a

confirmation.

microsoft-sac-support

When enabled, the user can lock his terminal with a password using the

Hotkey Prefix

(default Ctrl-a)

^a l

(lowercase L). The IOLAN prompts the user for a password and a

confirmation.

motd

Enables/disables the message of the day on the line.

multisessions

This parameter defines the maximum number of additional reverse sessions which will
be allowed for this line allowing more control as to how the total reverse sessions are
allocated. This is on top of the main reverse session to the line.

The total number of reverse sessions on the IOLAN are dependent on the model:

1-port: 0-3

2-port: (4 x #-of-ports) -1

STS/SDS 4+ ports: (2 x #-of-ports) -1

SCS 4+ ports: (2 x (#-of-ports + 1)) -1

user

For

DSLogin

line service, makes this a line that is dedicated to the specified user. Only

this user will be able to log in on this line and they won’t need to enter their login name
- just their password. When the

Line Service

is set to

Silent Rlogin

undedicated line.
