Conﬁ guration

• Inactivity Timeout: Enables and selects the Timeout Period for the

Telnet port. If enabled, and the port does not receive or transmit data for

the speciﬁed Timeout Period, the port will disconnect.

(Default = 5 Minutes.)

Note: When connected ports time out and are disconnected, both

ports will also exit from command mode.

• Response Type: Selects the type of messages that the Telnet port will

send in Text Interface mode when responding to commands. The user can

select Verbose (English Text), Terse (Numeric / Abbreviation), or Quiet

Mode (No Response.) (Default = Verbose.)

• Command Echo: Enables or Disables the command echo for the Telnet

port. (Default = Off.)

• Accept Break: Determines whether the Telnet port will accept breaks

received from the attached device, and pass them along to a connected

port. When enabled, breaks received at this port will be passed to any

port that this port is connected to, and sent along to the device connected

to the other port. When disabled, breaks will be refused at this port and

not sent to the other port. (Default = Yes)

• Discard LF: If desired, this option can be used to discard the Line Feed

character that is often produced by Telnet software. When this parameter

is enabled, the <LF> character sent after the <CR> will not be forwarded

to the serial port that the Telnet connection is in session with. This

parameter applies to all CMS-6R4 Telnet connections. (Default = Off.)

Notes:

• The "Discard LF" setting is only applied to inbound connections,

and will not be applied to outbound connections that have been

established using the /TELNET command.

• When the status of the "Discard LF" parameter is changed, the new

setting will take effect immediately, thus changing all current, active

connections.

• The "Discard LF" setting does not apply to Raw Socket Mode

connections. Raw connections will not discard the <LF> character.

• Invalid Access Lockout: Enables/Disables the Invalid Access Lockout

feature for the Network Port as described in Section 5.5.2.3. The Invalid

Access Lockout feature can be used to automatically disable a port when

a user-deﬁned number of invalid access attempts are detected (e.g., bad

password/username.) (Default = Off.)
