PMconsole version 3.5.1.4 for Windows 95 and Windows NT 4.0 FEATURES PortMaster 3 Integrated Access Server support PMconsole for Windows version 3.5.1.4 supports configuration of the PortMaster(TM) 3 Integrated Access Server. PMconsole for Windows version 1.1 cannot be used with the PortMaster 3. ComOS 3.5 support PMconsole 3.5.1.4 must be used to configure the ComOS 3.5 on the PortMaster 2, PortMaster 25, IRX, and Office Router. Console Port PMConsole now displays the console port (C0) for PM-2i PMconsole supports new features See ComOS release notes for more information on these features, which can now be configured with PMconsole release 3.5.1.4. Some of these features may not be available in some versions of ComOS. PMconsole release 3.5.1.4 can also be used to configure previous releases of ComOS. PAP, CHAP, and Serial Admin can now be enabled or disabled in the global table. 5ESS-PTP and various new ISDN switch types are supported. On dial-in ports, maximum idle time can now be set in minutes or seconds. On synchronous ports, Annex-D LMI may now be set for Frame Relay. In the User Table, maximum ports, session timeouts, and idle timeouts can be set. Idle timeouts can be specified in minutes or seconds. For ISDN calls, the phone number, username, and password can be specified for a dial out location, to make it easier for the PortMaster to authenticate itself using PAP or CHAP when dialing out to other sites. CHAP can be enabled or disabled in the Location Table. Multilink and Voice in the Location Table are now supported. ComOS 3.5 supports variable length subnet masks (VLSM), so PMconsole 3.5.1.4 allows you to specify VLSM-style routes. For example, to specify that only hosts 192.168.4.1 through 192.168.4.30 should be routed through 192.168.4.1, you can now use the route: 192.168.4.0/27 192.168.4.1 1 PMutilities The following PMutilities are included in the PMconsole for Windows version 3.5.1.4: pmdumpfilter pmdumpfilter displays the contents of all filters that reside on the PortMaster. To use pmdumpfilter, specify the following: pmdumpfilter <PortMaster_Name> <Password> You can redirect the output into a file as follows: pmdumpfilter <PortMaster_Name> <Password> > <File> pmcommand pmcommand displays the output of the PortMaster commands. This utility can also be used to upload the contents of pmdumpfilter file back to the PortMaster. pmcommand <PortMaster_Name> <Password> <Command_File> pmreset pmreset resets the PortMaster's port remotely. pmreset <PortMaster_Name> <Password> <Port_Name> pmdial pmdial performs the outbound dialing function of the PortMaster. pmdial <PortMaster_Name> <Password> <Location_Name> pmreadpass pmreadpass converts information from the local user table into RADIUS user profile. pmreadpass <PortMaster_Name> <Password> <outputname> The output file will have a format of the RADIUS users file. NOTE: Special characters such as "*, ?, >", etc., cannot be used in the password strings as DOS will not be able to recognite them. BUGS FIXED The following problems have been fixed in PMconsole for Windows version 3.5.1: 1. The port's login message window is now on a white background. In version 3.5, the port's login message window was on a black background, preventing users from writing messages on the window. 2. When closing a main window before closing the port, PMconsole crashed. This problem was caused by a child process that was still running when the parent process no longer existed. 3. The route entries in the routing table now accept VLSM. The following problem has been fixed in PMconsole for Windows version 3.5.1.1: 1. PMconsole version 3.5.1 crashed when used in conjunction with the PortMaster running ComOS 3.3.3 The following problem has been fixed in PMconsole for Windows version 3.5.1.2: 1. Specified the mask of 26 for the route in the routing table caused the PortMaster to crash. This problem has been fixed. The following problem has been fixed in PMconsole for Windows version 3.5.1.3: 1. When the user table is generated, the fields that reflect user type, address, netmask and RIP were only filled in for the first 20 users. The fields for the remaining 50 users displayed blank.

If a LOGIN user specified a telnet service, the lower fields was not reflect the fact that TELNET has been selected -- it indicated PORTMASTER, which is just the first option in that drop down list. The above problem has been fixed The following problem has been fixed in PMconsole for Windows version 3.5.1.4: 1.
