Basic Configuration
•
HTTP Access (Web Access):
Enables/disables the Web Browser Interface. When
disabled, users will not be allowed to contact the unit via the Web Browser Interface.
(Default = Off.)
•
HTTP Port:
Selects the TCP/IP port number that will be used for Web Access.
(Default = 80.)
Note:
In the Text Interface, HTTP parameters reside in a separate submenu. To
enable and configure HTTP Access via the Text Interface, access the Network
Configuration Menu as described in Section 5.9, then type
23
, press
[Enter]
and use
the resulting submenu to select parameters.
•
SYSLOG Address:
The IP Address or domain name (up to 64 characters) for the Syslog
Daemon that will receive log records generated by the RPS. For more information, please
refer to Section 8. (Default = undefined.)
Note:
The Syslog Address submenu in the Text Interface includes a Ping Test
function that can be used to ping the user-selected Syslog IP Address to verify that a
valid IP address has been entered. In order for the Ping Test feature to function, your
network and/or firewall must be configured to allow ping commands.
•
Ping Access:
Enables/Disables response to the ping command. When Disabled, the RPS
will not respond to Ping commands. (Default = On.)
•
Raw Socket Access:
Enables/disables Raw Socket Protocol access to the Network Port
via Direct Connect and selects the port number for Raw Socket Access. This item can be
used to enable or disable Raw Socket Protocol access and select either port 23 or port 3001
for use for Raw Socket connections. (Default = Off.)
Notes:
• The Raw Socket Access option is often useful for users who encounter network
problems when attempting to communicate with the RPS using a script that was
previously written for legacy products.
• If the "On (23)" option is selected, you must either disable Telnet Port 23 or use
the Telnet Access option to select a port other than Port 23.
• When the Raw Socket Access option is enabled, you must connect to the RPS
using the port number selected for Raw Socket Access. For example, if the RPS
IP address is "1.2.3.4", and port 3001 has been selected for Raw Socket Acess, in
order to establish a Raw Socket connection to the RPS's Network Port, then on a
UNIX system, the connection command would be:
$ telnet 1.2.3.4 3001
[Enter]
.
