successful, or the client is disabled. Registration may fail if the Project Tag is invalid, the
Device ID is invalid, the Registration Host name cannot be resolved, or the Registration Host
is not reachable. Once registration is successful, Status of Client will display Registered with
the date and time of registration.
Note: The Registered date/time displayed in the SLC status may be different from
the registered date/time shown in the ConsoleFlow web UI. The SLC registered date/
time is the most recent date and time that the SLC registered with the ConsoleFlow
server. The registered date and time shown in the ConsoleFlow web UI is the first time
that the SLC ever registered with the ConsoleFlow server.
2. Telemetry
After registration, the client will connect to the Telemetry Host (the hostname is provided
during registration) and perform a telemetry handshake. This handshake may request that the
client publish a set of statistics at regular intervals. If a telemetry handshake is successful,
Status of Client will display Telemetry Handshake with the date and time of the handshake.
Each time telemetry statistics are published, Status of Client will display Telemetry
Statistics with the date and time the statistics were sent.
3. Messages and Status Updates
After the telemetry handshake, the client will connect to the Messaging Host to receive
messages and publish status updates. If the connection fails, the client will wait 5 seconds and
retry. The connection may fail if the Messaging Host name cannot be resolved, or the
Messaging Host is not reachable. Once the connection is successful, Status of Client will
display Messaging connected with the date and time the connection was established.
The client publishes status update messages (changes to device attributes) at the interval
defined by Interval between Status Updates. Each time a status update is published, Status
of Client will display Status with the date and time the status was sent. The client also
accepts command messages from the ConsoleFlow server to perform actions, such as reboot
or shutdown. Each time a message is received, Status of Client will display Message
received with the date and time the message was received.
4. Firmware and Configuration Updates
The client checks for firmware and configuration updates at the interval defined by Interval
between FW and Config Checks. When the client checks for firmware or configuration
updates, Status of Client will display Checked for Content with the date and time the check
was performed. If a firmware update is found, it will be applied to the alternate (non-active)
boot bank, and Status of Client will display Firmware updated with the date and time the
firmware was updated. If a configuration update is found, it will be applied to the current boot
bank, and Status of Client will display Configuration restored with the date and time the
configuration was restored.
5. Web Terminal Connections
ConsoleFlow allows users to make secure, encrypted connections via SSL/TLS to the CLI and
device ports. This connection opens a web terminal session in a new browser tab in the
ConsoleFlow UI. The connection is terminated when the user closes the web terminal session.
When a Web Terminal connection is initiated, Status of Client will display Web Terminal
Connection with the date and time the connection was initiated. Web Terminal connections
are also displayed in the Connections list in the SLC web UI and CLI. Currently paste in Web
Terminal Sessions is limited to 500 lines. Some browsers may not support pasting more than
500 lines, as this may cause the Web Terminal session to be terminated.
