Additionally, before any port can function properly, you need to set the port mode. Set any port to run in one of the five possible modes
(refer Chapter 5 for details): [Console server mode|Device mode|SDT mode|Terminal server mode|Serial bridge mode]. All these modes are
mutually exclusive.
Console server mode
The command to set the port in portmanager mode:
# config -s config.ports.port5.mode=portmanager
To set the following optional config elements for this mode:
Data accumulation period 100 ms
Escape character % (default is ~)
log level 2 (default is 0)
Shell power command menu Enabled
RFC2217 access Enabled
Limit pot to 1 connection Enabled
SSH access Enabled
TCP access Enabled
telnet access Disabled
Unauthorized telnet access Disabled
# config -s config.ports.port5.delay=100
# config -s config.ports.port5.escapechar=%
# config -s config.ports.port5.loglevel=2
# config -s config.ports.port5.powermenu=on
# config -s config.ports.port5.rfc2217=on
# config -s config.ports.port5.singleconn=on
# config -s config.ports.port5.ssh=on
# config -s config.ports.port5.tcp=on
# config -d config.ports.port5.telnet
# config -d config.ports.port5.unauthtel
Device Mode
For a device mode port, set the port type to ups, rpc, or enviro:
# config -s config.ports.port5.device.type=[ups | rpc | enviro]
For port 5 as a UPS port:
# config -s config.ports.port5.mode=reserved
For port 5 as an RPC port:
# config -s config.ports.port5.mode=powerman
For port 5 as an Environmental port:
# config -s config.ports.port5.mode=reserved
SDT mode
To enable access over SSH to a host connected to serial port 5:
# config -s config.ports.port5.mode=sdt
