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.

changes to apply the new settings. Click Refresh at any time to see an
updated list of attached R-Port modules.
Advanced Conguration Using the Integrated SSH Shell
In most cases, configuring the IP KVM switch 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 a 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:
Baud rate: 115200 bps, 8N1
Connected to #1: (none)... (Press Ctrl-Shift-_ for menu)
You are now connected to the R-Port module in a live terminal session.
Commands you type will be echoed on the terminal screen. The
module also offers a simple menu system that allows you to change its
configuration settings (similar to the function of the menus in a terminal
software package). Press [Ctrl] - [Shift] – [_] (underscore) on the
keyboard to access the menu. It will be similar to the following:
RS-232 Menu (#1: (none), 115200 bps, 8N1)
Q – Disconnect
# - Send break
H – Hangup line (drop DCD)
E – Send Ctrl-Shift-_
L – Low log entries (line buffer)
