Terminal Server - User and Administration Guide

The following fields are important:
Monitor DCD: With this flag set to Yes , the Terminal Server will
monitor Data Carrier Detect (DCD) - pin 8 - from
the modem. As soon as your modem answers a
call and establishes a carrier signal, the modem
raises DCD. The terminal server will then
establish a telnet/rlogin connection to a specified
host. When the modem hangs up, DCD goes low
and the terminal server port resets. This will also
drop the connection to the host.
TERM:
This field is the TERM environment variable.
Whatever you type in here will be passed to the
host as the TERM variable when a telnet
connection is established and the user logs in.
Flow Ctrl:
The modem and terminal server port should be
configured to use Hardware (RTS/CTS) flow
control. This will be especially important if you
are using SLIP.
Dst:
This field contains the IP address the dial-in user
will borrow for the PPP session. If you are using
a straight forward dial-in connection for Unix,
this is not required.
Mask:
If using PPP, SLIP or CSLIP, this is the subnet
mask that controls the range of IP addresses
accessible from the port and must correspond
with your network. (If used for terminals, this is
not needed.)
Secure:
This field is set to Yes to force the call-in user to
use the Dst IP address. (su is not available in this
mode.) If the Secure flag is set, the dial-in user
will not be able to obtain administrative
priveleges. This also applies to local terminals.
