Options

host-ip

For outbound User Services such as

Telnet

, this is the target host name or IP address. If

no IP address is specified, the

Host IP

value in the

Default User

configuration will be

used. The default is

0.0.0.0

. or None.

hotkey-prefix

The prefix that a user types to control the current session. The default value is

hex 01

,

which corresponds to

Ctrl-a

(

^a

) (hex value 02 would be Ctrl-b (^b), etc.):

z

^a number

—To switch from one session to another, press

^a

and then the required

session number. For example,

^a 2

would switch you to session 2. Pressing

^a 0

will return you to the IOLAN Menu.

z

^a n

—Display the next session. The current session will remain active. The lowest

numbered active session will be displayed.

z

^a p

—Display the previous session. The current session will remain active. The

highest numbered active session will be displayed.

z

^a m

—To exit a session and return to the IOLAN. You will be returned to where

you left off. The session will be left running.

z

^a l

—(Lowercase L) Locks the line until the user unlocks it. The user is prompted

for a password (any password, excluding spaces) and locks the line. Next, the user

must retype the password to unlock the line.

z

^r

—When you switch from a session back to the Menu, the screen may not be

redrawn correctly. If this happens, use this command to redraw it properly. This is

always

Ctrl R

, regardless of the

Hotkey Prefix

.

The

User Hotkey Prefix

value overrides the

Line Hotkey Prefix

value. You can use the

Hotkey Prefix

keys to lock a line only when the line

Lock

parameter is

On

.

idle-timer

The amount of time, in seconds, that the

Idle Timer

will run. Use this timer to close a

connection because of inactivity. When the

Idle Timer

expires, because there has been

no exchange of data within the specified time, the IOLAN will close the connection.
The default value is

0

(zero), meaning that the

Idle Timer

will not expire (the

connection is open permanently). The maximum value is 4294967

seconds. The

User

Idle Timer

will override the

Line Idle Timer

, with the exception of reverse Telnet

sessions.

language

You can specify whether a user will use

English

or

Customlang

as the language that

appears in the Menu or CLI. The IOLAN supports one custom language that must be

downloaded to the IOLAN; otherwise,

Customlang

defaults to English.
