Using Digi_Menu To Simplify Port Connections - Digi PortServer CM User Manual

Using digi_menu to simplify port connections

Use the digi_menu script to avoid typing long telnet or ssh commands. digi_menu is ready to use
immediately, and requires no configuration. It presents a short menu with the names of the servers connected
to the serial ports of the PortServer CM. The server is selected by its corresponding number. For more
advanced menuing options, see "About Menus" on page 3-4.
Only ports configured for console access (protocols socket_server or socket_ssh) will be presented.
