Ethernet Node ID

Displays the serial number of the hardware Ethernet Interface device. This is a default value of the manufacturer of the hardware device and should not be changed.

Local IP Address

The IP address assigned to this terminal by the MIS manager. Each terminal must have a unique IP address. The address is used to allow the host to identify messages from this terminal and to allow the terminal to filter out return messages from the common Ethernet cable. An example of this address is 192.168.123.211.

Netmask

The value generated by the system based on the IP address. The system administrator would have this information. An example is 255.255.255.0

Remote IP 0…B Address

For any remote host, or devices, that the terminal will communicate with for a specific session. These twelve remote IP addresses should all be identical if all communications will be with only one host. If Multisession ON in the F4 menu has been selected, and here is more than one host on your system, you must specify which host each session will communicate with. To communicate with a different host for a future session, these settings be changed.

Note: The multisession option allows 4 separate sessions. If any emulation other than ECON-80 is selected. If ECON-80 emulation is selected, the Multisession option allows up to 7 separate sessions.

Gateway

This IP address is used to communicate with other networks. If a gateway is not being used this option should be blank.

Term Type

Allows definition of the terminal with up to 40 characters. If Term is empty the default type is sent to the host by the system.

You can program a message of up to 20 characters to identify the terminal to the computer. Enter the message at the cursor position. Correct errors by pressing to delete characters or to clear the message.

CONCEAL hides the answerback message, so it is not displayed in SETUP mode. To save the message in nonvolatile memory, exit SETUP mode with the YES option.

This menu allows the terminal setup for Ethernet communication. Use of Ethernet communications provides the additional ability to open multiple sessions (applications) on one or more hosts/servers at the same time. Support of these extended features requires the creation of special files at the host computer(s) by the MIX manager for your system. The settings selected by the MIX at the host(s) must also be entered in this menu for proper communications. Note: The Ethernet option in the F4 setup menu must be set to ON for the terminal to work in an Ethernet environment.

Cursor

Select the color of the cursor (16 colors).

Normal F.G. / Normal B.G

These fields allow you to select the character and background color (16 colors) for data entered on the display before your application defines the color display remotely

Intensity F.G. / Intensity B.G.

These fields allow you to select the character and background color (16 colors) for data entered on the display as Dim in ASCII emulation’s and Bold in VT\ANSI emulation’s before your application defines the color display remotely.

Color Mode

Is automatically selected based on your emulation selected.

Color Map

Applies in WY325 mode only and determines if the monochrome attribute Reverse or Blank will be used to map monochrome attributes to color.

The color functionality differs with emulation.

In general VT100, VT220 and ANSI Console work with applications which control the color directly. The remaining personalities associate colors based on existing monochrome video attributes. This section will define parameter selection based on personality selected. Background will determine the color of the background screen under some conditions (16 colors).

* When the WY325 personality is selected holding the CTRL key down and depression either the 0, 1, 2…9(.) period key in the numeric pad changes the assignment of color the screen. Each selection is called a palette as mention in Color Pallete.

*1. Whether the reverse or blank attribute is mapped to the colors shown depends on an escape sequence or

the setting of the Color Map setup parameter on the Attribute menu. The default is reverse. When the blank attribute is mapped, only the background is visible.

*2. The intensity is dim in ASCII personalities and bold in ANSI personalities. (The intensity attribute is not

supported in the following personalities: Wyse 50+, ADDS A2, TVI 910+, TVI925, and VT52.) The attribute can be disabled by an escape sequence or in setup mode (Intensity Attribute parameter).

*3. In each palette, the status line displays the same foreground and background colors as shown here for the

underline-and intensity attribute.

2.7 Command Guide

Commands Supported in ASCII Personalities

Below table lists all the ASCII commands recognized by the terminal. The native mode code for the command is given in the second column. (The native mode includes WY-325, WY-120 and WY-60.) The remaining columns show the support for the command in other ASCII personalities according to the following notations:

Same - Same as native code (code is native to other terminal also) Wyse - Same as native code (Wyse enhancement- code not native to other terminal) ENH - Same as native code when enhance mode is on

(Wyse enhancement - code not native to other terminal)

A code listed under a non-native personality indicates that the related terminal’s native code is supported. A blank in any column indicates that the command is not supported.

2.8 Device Setup

2.8.1 Setup the IP address from Ethernet Port

In addition to VT100 interface, we also provide a Network Setup Software tool (IPCS Setup) fro the network settings to the IP Serial Console.

The Operation procedures are as follows:

 Run the software tool IpcsSeeker.exe

 Click Search Devices to find out the IP serial console device on the network. After few seconds, the

MAC addresses of found devices will show on Device MAC address field.

 Select the MAC address on Device MAC address, and then click Query Device to get the device

configuration on the right pane.

 If you want to change the settings, Enter the Super user name & password. Change the settings on

the right pane. Then click Update Device. The new settings will be saved to the IP serial console unit. Then the unit will reboot automatically.

Access IP Serial Console

Using the HTTP protocol and entering the configured IP address of IP KVM switch into the web browser to remote access the IP KVM switch. With successful connection to IP KVM, the login page will show as below, then key in the default user name & password When connecting to the IPCS unit, the IPCS system (web server, Telnet server or SSH server) will prompt user to enter the user name and password in order to access to the system.

www.avenview.com

44

There are Two levels of access privileges.

User Name

Default Password

Access Privileges

root

Full access

(user define)

Limited access to Serial Port

The administrator can add or remove a user easily via the web pages of System administrations.

2.8.2 Web Management Interface

The IP serial console (IPCS) supports both HTTP and HTTPS (HTTP over SSL) protocols. The user must authenticate themselves by logging into the system with a correct user name and password.

To access the IP serial console Web management pages, enter the pre-set IP address or resolvable hostname into the web browser’s URL/Location field. This will direct the user to the login screen.

Figure below shows the user homepage of the Web management interface. A menu bar, provided on the left hand side of the screen. Selecting an item on the menu bar opens a tree view of all the submenus available under each grouping. Selecting a submenu item will allow the user to modify parameter settings for that item.

Every page will allow the user to Save to flash, Apply or Cancel their actions. To apply all changes made, the user must select Apply. Only when the user selects Apply will the new parameter values be applied to the IP serial console configuration and go effective. But new settings are not saved to non-volatile memory (Flash) unless user click Save to flash button.

If the user does not want to save the new parameter values, the user can click Cancel. All changes made will be lost and the previous values restored.

www.avenview.com

45

Section 3: IP Setting

3.1 IP Configuration

User can do the network IP settings via V-100 or web pages. This chapter describes the usage of web pages. The default IP settings are as follows.

3.1.1 IP Configuration

The IP serial console requires a valid IP address to operate within the user’s network environment. If the IP address is not readily available, contact the system administrator to obtain a valid IP address for the IP serial console. Please note that the IP serial console requires a unique IP address to connect to the user’s network.

There are two types of IP assignments user can choose from:

Static IP



DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)



The IP serial console is initially defaulted to Static IP mode, with a static IP address of 192.168.123.211. *The configuration setting will not go into effect until clicking the button Save to flash & reboot.

3.1.2 SMTP Configuration

The IP serial console (IPCS) can send an email notification when the number of system log messages reaches to certain value and/or when an alarm message is created due to an issue with serial port data. The user must configure a valid SMTP server to send these automatically generated emails.

The “device mail address” must be registered to SMTP server. The IPCS supports two SMTP server types:

SMTP without authentication



SMTP with authentication



The SMTP user name and SMTP user password are required when selecting SMTP with Authentication.

Secondary SMTP configuration is also provided so that mail can be delivered even when the primary SMTP server fails. Only when the primary SMTP server fails, the secondary SMTP server will be tried for mail delivery.

3.2 IP Filtering

3.2.1 IP Filtering

The IP filtering function keeps unauthorized hosts from accessing to the IP serial console by specifying IP

filtering rules. It is important to fully understand what an IP filter is. If you don’t fully understand this, you will

get unexpected results against your original plan.

The IP address/Mask specifies the host range by entering base host IP address followed by / and subnet mask. The host IP addresses to be filtered based on the rule defined. The table below gives examples of IP address / Mask settings.

The Port is a port or port range of the IP Serial Console which hosts try to access to.

www.avenview.com

47

Chain Rule:

The chain rule determines whether the access from the hosts is allowed or not. It can be one of the these two values:

ACCEPT: access allowed DROP: access not allowed

When the IPCS receives a TCP packet, it will process the packet with the chain rule depicted below. The process ordering is important; the packet will enter the chain rule 1 first, if meet the rule then take action directly, otherwise go to chain rule 2.

Users can add new IP filtering rule by setting the properties at adding line and then clicking the button Add. User can remove a rule by clicking the button Remove.

www.avenview.com

48

In the example above, no host is allowed to connect to the IPCS through http (port 80) by the #3 rule but the hosts whose subnet is 192.168.1.x is allowed by the #1 rule and 192.168.2.x by the rule #2. So, only the hosts which belong to the subnet 192.168.1.x or 192.168.2.x can access to the IPCS through http by the #1, #2 and #3 rules.

3.3 Web Server Configuration

The IP serial console Web server supports both HTTP and HTTPS (HTTP over SSL) services simultaneously. Users can select user authentication method for the IPCS web pages login. The IP serial console currently provides authentication methods of Local and RADIUS.

3.3.1 Local

The IP serial console always refers to the local database for the web server login user authentication.

www.avenview.com

49

3.3.2 Dynamic DNS

When users connect the IP serial console (IPCS) to a DSL line or use a DHCP configuration, and get a dynamic IP address from the network, the IP address may not the same as previous. It can therefore be very difficult to know if an IP address has changed, or what the new IP address is.

A Dynamic DNS service is provided by various ISPs or organizations to deal with the above issue. By using the Dynamic DNS service, users can access the IPCS through the hostname registered in the Dynamic DNS Server regardless of any IP address change.

By default, the IPCS only supports Dynamic DNS service offered at Dynamic DNS Network Services, LLC (www.dyndns.org).

To use the Dynamic DNS service provided by Dynamic DNS Network Services, the user must set up an account. in their Members’ NIC (Network Information Center - http://members.dyndns.org). The user may then add a new Dynamic DNS Host link after logging in to their Dynamic DNS Network Services Members NIC.

After enabling the Dynamic DNS service in the Dynamic DNS Configuration menu, the user must enter the registered Domain Name, User Name, and Password. After applying the configuration change, users can access the IPCS using only the Domain Name. The DNS (Domain Name Systems) is the internet service that translates your domain names into IP addresses.

www.avenview.com

50

3.3.3 HTTPS / SSL

The IP serial console Web server supports both HTTP and HTTPS (HTTP over SSL) services simultaneously. The user can to enable or disable security function of each port individually. HTTPS provides a secure, encrypted web interface over SSL (secure sockets layer). The following steps to use the HTTPS protocol:

Change the URL from “http://xxx.xxx.xxx/” to “https://xxx.xxx.xxx/”.



If connect success, it will show up the “Lock” icon on the right-hand side of the taskbar.



3.3.4 RADIUS

Authentication is the process of identifying an individual, usually based on a username and password. The IP serial console supports various authentication options, such as Local, RADIUS, to authenticate the users who access the serial port. When the authentication is set to Local, the IPCS will use its own user list to authenticate a user. If configured otherwise, the IPCS will request authentication from the external authentication servers (i.e. RADIUS).

Figure below shows conceptually the user authentication process when using an external authentication server.

www.avenview.com

4.1.1 Port Authentication

Authentication is the process of identifying an individual, usually based on a username and password. The IP serial console supports various authentication options, such as Local, RADIUS, to authenticate the users who access the serial port.

When the authentication is set to Local, the IP serial console will use its own user list to authenticate a user. If configured otherwise, the IPCS will request authentication from the external authentication servers (i.e. RADIUS)

Figure below shows conceptually the user authentication process when using an external authentication server.

4.1.2 Port Enable / Disable

Each serial port can be enabled or disabled. A disabled serial port cannot be accessed by user. User can reset the serial port to default settings by clicking the button Set to default.

www.avenview.com

53

4.1.3 Port Title

Users can enter descriptive information for each port based on the device attached to it.

We can use the shortcut Move to on the up-right corner to go to the target port page directly.

4.1.4 Operating Modes

The IP serial console unit provides four types of operation modes. These are described in the following sections.

www.avenview.com

54

Note:

 The Power Control Mode is available in port #1 only.  The last port (e.g. Port#16 of IPCS-16) can also be used as External ESP (Entry Serial Port) in

Serial-to-Serial operation mode. Refer to the section Serial-to-Serial Function for details.

Console Server Mode:

Configuring a serial port as a console server creates a TCP socket on the IP serial console unit that listens for a

Telnet or SSH client connection. When you connect to the TCP socket, you have access to the device attached to the serial port as if the device were connected directly to the network. Data streamcan be sent back and forth between the device and the Telnet/SSH client program.RawTCP is also supported with the Console Server Mode.

For console server mode, the user can configure the following parameters:

Listening TCP port number

The user can also access a serial port through the IP address of the IP serial console and the listening TCP port number of the serial port. If the IP address of the IP serial console and the serial port are assigned as

192.168.123.100 and listening TCP port number 4001, the user can connect to the port as follows: telnet

192.168.123.100 4001

www.avenview.com

55

Protocol

Select Telnet, SSH or Raw TCP as the protocol. If the users are using a Telnet client program, select Telnet. If the users are using an SSH client program, select SSH. When Raw TCP is selected, direct TCP socket communication is available between the IPCS and the remote host.

Inactivity timeout

In order to avoid a client holding a TCP connection while no data transferring on the serial port for long time. If the inactivity timeout is enabled, and no data activity between the IP serial console and the Telnet/ SSH client for the specified inactivity timeout interval (no data activity in the serial port), the existing TCP session will automatically be closed. If the user wants to maintain the connection indefinitely, configure the inactivity timeout period to 0.

TCP Keep-alive (no configuration required)

In order to avoid TCP connection lockup, the IP serial console will continue to check the connection status

between the Telnet/ SSH client and the IP serial console by sending “keep alive” packets periodically. If the

Telnet/ SSH client does not answer the packets in a period of time, system will assume that the connection is down unintentionally. The IPCS will close the existing Telnet/SSH connection, regardless of the inactivity setting. So the TCP connection won’t be deadlocked when user’s application closed improperly or the network link interrupted.

Terminal Server Mode

In terminal server mode, the IP serial console will unit’s serial port is configured to wait for data from the device

connected to the port. If data arrive is detected, the IPCS unit starts a TCP session as a Telnet or SSH client to a pre-defined server. The server must be defined by you before the port can be configured for a Telnet or SSH client.

This mode is used when you want to access servers on the network from a serial terminal. RawTCP is also supported with the Terminal Server Mode.

Dial-in Modem Mode In this mode, the IP serial console unit assumes an external modem is attached to the serial port and is waiting

for a dial-in connection from a remote site. When a user dials-in using a terminal application, the IP serial console unit accepts the connection and displays the appropriate prompt or menu for you that logged in.

www.avenview.com

56

4.1.5 Serial Port Parameters

To connect the serial device to the IPCS serial port, the serial port parameters of the IPCS should match exactly to that of the serial device attached.

4.1.6 Port Logging

With the Port logging feature while in console server mode, the data receiving from the tracking serial port will be buffered in IPCS memory. The user can also define keywords for each serial port that will trigger an email notification if the keyword is found in the logged data. This will enable the user to monitor the data from the attached device. The Port logging feature is valid and visible only if the operation mode of the serial port is configured to console server mode.

www.avenview.com

57

If Port logging option is enabled, the user can let the IP serial console to search a defined keyword from the port

logging data and send an email to an administrator by Port event handling configurations. Each reaction can be configured individually upon each keyword. Reaction can be an email delivery.

The memory buffer for port logging data are pre-allocated at the size as list in following table:

Remark:

If the logging data grows larger than the pre-allocated size, the new data will overwrite the old data.

4.2 Connection

The IP serial console web pages provide a web-based serial port connection which enables the user to access the serial ports without using the Telnet client program.

A Java applet is used to provide the text-based user interface to access the serial port. This Java applet supports only Telnet in Console Server mode. The user cannot access the serial port via the web when the host mode of the port is set to Raw TCP connection. The user is asked to enter user ID and password to access the port. Once authenticated, the user now has access to the serial port.

Notes: In order to run this function, the system need support J2RE (Java 2 Runtime Environment) 1.5 and above, or Sun TM JRE(Java Runtime Environment) 5.0 and above. You can get the Java Software from the website:

http://www.java.com/en/download/

www.avenview.com

58

4.2.1 Telnet Java Applet

Select Telnet protocol under Serial port > Configuration > Operation mode.

Select the Serial port > connection menu item, click the terminal icon at C column. If connect success, the terminal emulation will pop up login prompt.

Enter user name and password to log in, so can start to use it as if running a Telnet client program (e.g., Telnet DOS program, PuTTY).

59

4.3 Serial-to-Serial Function

4.2.1 Serial-to-Serial Function

The web page also gives read-only settings of Serial-to-Serial function, it will auto-changed upon the setting change on VT100 console. Click Cancel will refresh the values.

4.2.2 Serial Power Control Function

The Serial Power Controller (SPC) is a family of intelligent power distribution units that enables remote power control of servers and network appliances. When used in conjunction with IP Console Servers, the SPC provides comprehensive management capabilities and quick problem resolution by integrating console access with power control into a single interface.

The SPC support both RS232 and RS485 interface. With RS485 mode, the SPC can be located up to 1.2km away from the controlling master, and has the Daisy- chain capability.

For detailed operation, please refer to the User Manual of Serial Power Controller.

6.2 Date and Time

The IPCS maintains current date and time information. The IPCS clock and calendar settings are backed up by internal battery power. The user can change the current date and time.

There are two methods of date and time settings. The first is to use the NTP server to maintain the date and time settings. If the NTP feature is enabled, the IPCS will obtain the date and time information from the NTP server at each reboot, then automatically align with the NTP server time per hour. If the NTP server is set to

0.0.0.0, the IPCS will automatically use the default NTP servers. In this case, the IPCS should be connected from the network to the Internet. The second method is to set date and time manually without using the NTP server. This will allow the date and time information to be kept maintained by the internal battery backup.

By convention, weather scientists use one time zone, Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). This time is also known as Universal Time (UTC). The user may also need to set the time zone and the time offset from UTC depending on the user location to set system date and time exactly, and the time offset from UTC. It allows the IPCS to calculate the exact system time. The Time offset value x could be positive or negative integer. Please refer to the website http://time_zone.tripod.com/ for the time offset from UTC.

Note:

 The IP serial console provides RTC (Real Time Check) function powered by a lithium battery (CR2032,

3V). So the date / time will be maintained even when power is lost to the unit.

 If you repeatedly loss the date / time information please replace the battery.  Replace the 3-Volt CR2032 battery only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the

battery manufacturer. A new battery can explode if it is incorrectly installed. Discard the inappropriate one if possible.
