2.18.8. DLS Previous topic Parent topic Child topic Next topic

  • Set the IP address of the DLS server
set dls ip_address <ip address[:port]>
  1. You can set the IP address of the DLS server manually with set dls ip_address (optional). The IP address is automatically set if you use the function IP Devices > IP Device Interaction > Scan IP Devices (activate the checkbox Send DLS Address in the "Configuration" tab for this).
  • Show the IP address of the DLS server
show dls ip_address
  1. The gateway contains a DLS client. This setting makes sure that the gateway automatically recognizes the IP address of the DLS client.
  • DLS PIN
  • IP Devices > IP Device Management > IP Device Configuration > "DLS Connectivity"
    Three security settings are available under PIN Mode for creating a virtual device in the DLS:
    • No PIN,
    • Default PIN,
    • Individual PIN.
    If you set dls pin_required to TRUE in the gateway, the gateway declines a connection if No PIN is set in the DLS. This setting offers added security.
    The PIN is automatically generated by the DLS and displayed in the Default PIN: field in the DLS under Administration > Workpoint Interface Configuration > "Secure mode" tab. It has the same function as a password.
    set dls pin_required <value>
    Possible values:
    • 0: A PIN is not needed. "No PIN" is set as the PIN mode in the DLS.
    • 1: A PIN is needed. "Default PIN" or "Individual PIN" is set as the PIN mode in the DLS.
    show dls pin_required
    Possible values:
    • FALSE: A PIN is not needed. "No PIN" is set as the PIN mode in the DLS.
    • TRUE: A PIN is needed. "Default PIN" or "Individual PIN" is set as the PIN mode in the DLS.
  • Activate the DLS PIN
activate dls pin <pin>
  1. If you select Default PIN or Individual PIN as the PIN mode in the DLS, you must use this command to enter the PIN displayed in the DLS.
  • Bootstrapping
  • The command reset dls bootstrapping resets the gateway defaults for DLS client bootstrapping; you can then repeat bootstrapping (see also Chapter 9, “DLS Client Bootstrapping”).
    reset dls bootstrapping
  • DLS client status
  • Shows the value "secure" or "insecure." This is followed by a number in brackets which is used for diagnostic purposes.
    show dls_client_state
    Possible values:
    • secure: DLS client bootstrapping has already taken place.
    • insecure: DLS client bootstrapping has not yet been performed or was unsuccessful.
  • Contact the DLS server
contact dls
  1. This command tries to contact the DLS server.
    You only need to do this to start DLS client bootstrapping after manually configuring the DLS server’s IP address with set dls ip_address.
    Otherwise, you can use contact dls to test if communication is possible between the gateway and DLS server. An appropriate message appears.
