Access - Black Box 37687 User Manual

Access

This section controls the type of the connection made from this port. This is the most
important section in defining a port. The parameters are as follows:
Terminal Server User Guide
Port setup menu
Option Description
Access This field defines the type of service that is operating on this port.
Default is Local.
Local This is the normal setting for terminals/PCs.
Remote This setting indTerminal Server should be listening on the ethernet for
connections from a remote host. The TCP port for the communications
server to listen on, must be entered in the Local Port field. This setting
should be used for printers, dial-out modems and reverse telnet
connections.
Dynamic This setting should be used for dial-in/dial-out modems. This setting is a
combination of the local and remote settings. The communications
server listens both on the serial port for incoming characters and on the
network for incoming connections. When it gets either, it behaves as the
appropriate type of connection until that session is terminated,
whereupon it goes back to listening again.
UDP This setting indicates the Terminal Server should be listening on the
ethernet for connections from a remote host. The UDP port for the
communications server to listen on, must be entered in the Local Port
field. When using UDP access, the Host field and the Remote Port field
can be left blank and can be determine from the first datagram recieved
on the Local Port.
SLIP This will set the port into SLIP mode.
PPP This setting puts the port into a dedicated PPP line.
Listen This setting is similar to Remote, however, DTR/RTS will only be raised
once a network connection is establish.
None Sets port to disabled.
CSLIP This setting puts the port into dedicated CSLIP status.
Vmodem This setting causes the Terminal Server port to behave as if it were a
modem to the attached device.
