  • Page 7: 1: Introduction

    This manual provides the complete command set for all products in the MSS family. These commands can be entered at the command line to configure the MSS to best meet your needs. While most basic MSS features can be configured using EZWebCon or ThinWeb Manager, the command line interface allows you to customize some of the more advanced features.

  • Page 8: Command Line Editing

    The MSS has a reduced command set from the EPS, ETS, and MPS product lines. Change commands replace the Set/Define Server and Set/Define Port commands used in the earlier products.

  • Page 9: Help

    The comprehensive Index can be used to find specific information. For installation and setup information, refer to your Installation Guide . It is provided in printed form, and you can find HTML and PDF versions on the distribution CD-ROM and on the Lantronix web site (www.lantronix.com).

  • Page 11: 2: Command Reference

    2: Command Reference This chapter describes all commands that can be used with the MSS. The commands are listed in alphabetical order, excluding the Ports and Server parameters, which apply only to the MSS4. For example, Change Server Bootgateway is considered the same command as Change Bootgateway and is alphabetized according to the latter.

  • Page 12: Backward

    Ethernet port. If no valid PC card is detected at startup, the MSS uses the 10/100BASE-T (or, for the MSS4, the 100BASE-FX) network connection. When 802.11 is disabled, the MSS will ignore an installed 802.11 card and will only look for a compatible wired Ethernet connection.

  • Page 13: Change 80211 Antenna

    Change 80211 Reset command. Restrictions Requires privileged user status. Only applies to the MSS-VIA and certain MSS4 models. Errors If you enter a command that is not applicable to the 802.11 card currently in use, you will receive an Error message.

  • Page 14: Change 80211 Channel

    CHANGE 80211 ESSID NONE Configures the ESSID, which tells the MSS the name of the Extended Service Set (ESS) to which it belongs. Setting an ESSID ensures that the MSS will stay on the desired network subsegment. Any configuration changes you make will not take place until you issue the Change 80211 Reset command.

  • Page 15: Change 80211 Fragmentation

    CARD CHANGE 80211 MACADDRESS Configures which of the two available MAC addresses the MSS will use on the network—its own or that of the attached 802.11 wireless networking PC card. The MSS MAC address, which is the same as its hardware address, is printed on bottom label of the MSS.

  • Page 16: Change 80211 Network Mode

    Error message. Parameters Card Instructs the MSS to use the MAC address of the wireless PC card that is inserted into one of its PC card slots. Instructs the MSS to use its own internal MAC address.

  • Page 17: Change 80211 Power

    SPAIN FRANCE Sets the regulatory region under which you will operate the MSS. Users in the United States can leave this at the default setting (FCC). Other users should set it to correspond with their region. Any configuration changes you make will not take place until you issue the Change 80211 Reset command.

  • Page 18: Change 80211 Reset

    Only applies to the MSS-VIA and certain MSS4 models. Parameters Reset Resets the MSS to make all 802.11 changes take effect immediately. This command should be entered anytime you make an 802.11 configuration change. It also clears out any previous errors and starts over with the current 802.11 parameters.

  • Page 19: Change 80211 Wep

    (in ad-hoc mode) that have been programmed with the same WEP key as the MSS. All wireless network traffic the MSS sends will be encrypted with its WEP key and any encrypted wireless network traffic the MSS receives will be decrypted with its WEP key. Disabling WEP causes the MSS to ignore its WEP key and only receive and transmit unencrypted network traffic.

  • Page 20: Change Access

    Determines whether the MSS will receive unencrypted data while WEP is enabled. Allows reception of encrypted traffic while WEP is enabled. The MSS will accept unencrypted wireless network frames, as well as frames encrypted with its WEP key. This is the default setting once WEP has been enabled.

  • Page 21: Change Autobaud

    Detects the baud rate used for an incoming connection to the specified port and then changes its own baud rate at login time to match that of the remote device. When Autobaud is enabled, you may have to press Return several times to help the MSS determine the proper speed.

  • Page 22: Change Autostart

    Change Autostart Command Reference In the absence of the Portlist parameter, the configuration will affect the MSS4’s Note: current port only. PortList Specify a particular port or group of ports. Port numbers are specified with integers between 1 and 4, and should be separated with commas (for lists) or dashes (for ranges).
  • Page 23 Command Reference Change Autostart PortList Specify a particular port or group of ports. Port numbers are specified with integers between 1 and 4, and should be separated with commas (for lists) or dashes (for ranges). Character Sets a character that will cause a login event. Users will get the benefit of Autostart without having to hit Return or enable Autostart for extended periods of time.

  • Page 24: Change Backward Switch

    Backward command was entered. Any key can be specified unless it conflicts with MSS line editing or the Break or Forward keys. The key you specify will be stripped from the data stream, so while it won’t interfere with remote operating systems, you will lose any functionality that key would have on local programs.

  • Page 25: Change Bootp

    Specify a particular port or group of ports. Port numbers are specified with integers between 1 and 4, and should be separated with commas (for lists) or dashes (for ranges). Local The MSS processes the Break key and returns the user to local mode. 2-15...

  • Page 26: Change Buffering

    Change Buffering Command Reference Remote The MSS ignores the Break key and passes it to the remote host. Only applicable if the session protocol supports Break events. Telnet supports Break events, but Rlogin, raw TCP, and UDP do not. None Disables the Break key.

  • Page 27: Change Datasend

    Another option is to set a one- or two-character trigger, specified through the Character parameter, that will cause the MSS to transmit the data. You can also specify whether the trigger characters will be sent to the host as part of the serial data or whether they should be discarded through the Save parameter.
  • Page 28 Defines the timeout as the time since the current “character burst” was started. None Clears previous timeout settings, so the transmission takes place whenever the MSS decides to send the data. Character Sets a trigger that transmits any accumulated data as soon as the specified one or two byte character sequence is detected in the data stream.

  • Page 29: Change Dedicated

    As soon as a valid connection is established, normal data flow will occur between the MSS and the connected host. See Hostlist on page 2-58 for more information on hostlists.
  • Page 30 (forms a passive UDP connection with any host where once a packet is received, the MSS will communicate with only that host until 120 seconds of inactivity have occurred and will then return to the initial state of accepting a UDP packet from any host.)

  • Page 31: Change Dhcp

    Command Reference Change DHCP 2.14 Change DHCP DISABLED CHANGE SERVER DHCP ENABLED Enables or disables querying for a DHCP host at system boot time. Restrictions Requires privileged user status. Errors Configuring an IP address will automatically disable DHCP. Enabling DHCP will remove the IP address saved in non-volatile memory (NVR).

  • Page 32: Change Dsrlogout

    DISABLED CHANGE PORT PortList DTRWAIT ENABLED If enabled, the MSS will not assert the DTR signal on the specified serial port until a user logs into the port, or until a network connection is made to the port. Restrictions Requires privileged user status.

  • Page 33: Change Flow Control

    Command Reference Change Flow Control PortList Specify a particular port or group of ports. Port numbers are specified with integers between 1 and 4, and should be separated with commas (for lists) or dashes (for ranges). Defaults Disabled 2.18 Change Flow Control CTSRTS CHANGE PORT PortList FLOW CONTROL NONE...

  • Page 34: Change Forward Switch

    Forward command was entered. Any key can be specified unless it conflicts with MSS line editing or the Break or Forward keys. The key you specify will be stripped from the data stream, so while it won’t interfere with remote operating systems, you will lose any functionality that key would have on local programs.

  • Page 35: Change Inactive Logout

    Command Reference Change Inactive Logout Parameters Server MSS4 only. Secondary Configures a gateway to be used when the primary gateway is unavailable. IPaddress Specify a host using the numeric IP address format. Specifying an IP address of 0.0.0.0 removes the previously-defined gateway. See Also Change Subnet Mask, page 2-47.

  • Page 36: Change Incoming

    Permits or denies incoming Telnet, Rlogin, and LAT connections and enforces password protection. The Show Server command shows the status of incoming connection parameters. Restrictions Requires privileged user status. The MSSLite, MSS-VIA, and the MSS4 do not support LAT or the Both parameter. Parameters Server MSS4 only.

  • Page 37: Change Ipaddress

  • Page 40: Change Local Switch

    Defines a key that will allow you to access local mode from within a session. The Local Switch key functions the same as the Break key. Any key can be specified unless it conflicts with MSS line editing or the Break or Forward keys. The key you specify will be stripped from the data stream, so while it won’t interfere with remote operating systems, you will lose any functionality that key would have on local programs.

  • Page 41: Change Loginpass

    ENABLED Causes the MSS to treat any attached serial device as a modem. When enabled, a DSR drop will log out the enabled port and the MSS will drop DTR for three seconds and then raise it when the port logs out. If Autostart is also enabled, the port will not start until DSR is raised.

  • Page 42: Change Modem Emulation

    2.34 Change Name serverName CHANGE SERVER NAME Renames the MSS. The unit’s default name, which is based on its default Ethernet address, is printed on its underside. This name is what will be advertised if WINS is enabled. Restrictions Requires privileged user status.

This number is used for internal NetWare routing. Restrictions Requires privileged user status.

  • Page 45: Change Netware Routing

    2.39 Change NetWare Routing DISABLED CHANGE NETWARE ROUTING ENABLED Allows the MSS to act as an internal router whenever there are multiple NetWare frame types in use on the LAN. Restrictions Requires privileged user status. The MSSLite, MSS4, and the MSS-VIA do not support Netware.

  • Page 46: Change Passflow

    Specifies whether XON/XOFF characters will be stripped from the data stream. Enabled means that the MSS will both respond to XON/XOFF and send them to the host. Disabled means that we respond to XON/ XOFF but do not send them to the host. Passflow is only useful when XonXoff flow control is set.

  • Page 47: Change Password Incoming

    CHANGE PORT PortList PASSWORD INCOMING ENABLED Controls whether the MSS will ask users for an incoming password when they attempt to connect to the network socket connection ports (ports 200x and 300x, where x is the number of the desired serial port). See Environment Strings on page B-1 for more information on network socket connections.

  • Page 48: Change Password Protect

    CHANGE PORT PortList PASSWORD PROTECT ENABLED Controls whether a password is needed to log into the MSS from a serial port. For models with a dedicated console port (the MSS-Via, MSS485, and the MSSLite A and C), this command will also affect the serial console port.

  • Page 49: Change Preferred

    NONE NONE Specifies a default service for the specified port. The MSS will attempt to use the preferred service for autoconnecting, or when no host name is specified for a TCP (Telnet), Rlogin, SPX, or LAT connection command. Restrictions Requires privileged user status.

  • Page 56: Change Startup

    TFTP, the name must be resolvable at boot time, otherwise you must use an IP address. The Telnet console is available at the time the MSS attempts to download the startup file. If there is a problem with the download, you can still log into the MSS and determine what went wrong.

  • Page 57: Change Stopbits

    CHANGE SERVER SUBNET MASK Sets an IP subnet mask for the MSS. The mask is applied to target IP addresses to determine whether the destination address is on the local network segment. If the address is not on the local segment, the MSS’s gateway host will be accessed to provide the connection.

  • Page 58: Change Tcpkeepalive

    Controls what happens when users Telnet into the MSS using the default Telnet socket (23). By default, a Telnet session will get a Local> prompt from the MSS. By specifying the Serial option, a Telnet session will connect directly to the MSS’s serial port (port 1 on the MSS4).

  • Page 59: Change Telnetpad

    2.65 Change Termtype termstring CHANGE PORT PortList TERMTYPE NONE Specifies a terminal type for the desired port. If supported by the network protocol, the MSS reports this string to the remote host. Parameters Port MSS4 only. Specifies a particular port or group of ports.

  • Page 60: Change Timeserver

    IP ipaddress PASSIVE Specifies which timeserver the MSS will use to update its internal clock. The MSS can communicate with either Daytime or Network Timeserver Protocol (NTP) servers. For NTP, the MSS can periodically broadcast a message asking for time information and wait for an NTP timeserver to reply, periodically query a specific NTP timeserver, or just listen for NTP broadcasts on the network.

  • Page 61: Change Verify

    2.68 Change WINS DISABLED CHANGE SERVER WINS ENABLED Allows the MSS to broadcast a WINS name announcement at boot time, and answer broadcast WINS name queries. This setting allows other hosts to locate the MSS. Restrictions Requires privileged user status.
