This screen allows you to define up to eight Email addresses that can receive alert information. Each
address can receive any combination of the alerts that you have defined previously. You must enter the
IP address of your SMTP server and the Email address(es) where you want the alerts to go. For example,
in the above screen, the user has configured two serial port match strings. He has decided to send an
alert to the mail address [e-mail] if the first match string is seen on the serial port. If
desired, he could create up to seven more Email addresses that could each receive any combination of
these alerts.
The SNMP Trap Configuration page works exactly the same way as the Email Alert Configuration page,
except that you enter the Trap Community plus the IP address and port of the destination computer(s)
instead of the Email information. Up to eight separate IP addresses can be configured with any
combination of the alerts that you have defined. Note that you may also use the console command SET
IP TRAP n TRIGGER console command (see appendix B) to set up the traps.
When you have finished configuring the alerts, be sure to click the Submit button to save the settings.
You will also need to restart the Serial Device Server in order for the changes to take effect.
Using AT Modem Commands
The Serial Device Server firmware has an optional data filter for configuring using AT style modem
commands with the serial port. This feature allows devices with an existing AT command interface to
configure the unit, if the AT commands can be properly modified. You must be familiar with the general
operation of AT commands. Note that AT command processing is not enabled by default. Use the
command SET PORT S1 FILTER AT to enable this feature.
All commands begin with AT and are terminated by a new line unless noted below. While standard AT
commands are defined to be 40 characters or less (not including the AT), the server accepts commands
of up to 80 characters.
Standard AT Commands Supported
The Serial Device Server recognizes a subset of the standard AT command set. The data channel must
be in the command mode for commands to be recognized. The data channel will be in command mode
upon power up or reset.
There are two operating modes for the unit when the AT command option is enabled. In command mode,
data received from the serial port is passed to the AT command processor, and responses are returned to
the serial port. No data is sent to any network application, and any data received from the network is
ignored. In data mode, data from the serial port passes to the network application, and vice versa. This
is equivalent to the normal serial port operating mode without the AT command option.
