Direct Port Access; Custom Menus; Port Escape Menu - Digi CM 8 User Manual

Overview

Direct port access

Connect directly to a properly configured port through a Telnet or SSH session. Configuration
requirements include setting the Host Mode to Console Server Mode and the Protocol to either
Telnet or SSH. Ports, by default are set to Console Server Mode and Telnet. Use the following
information to make a Telnet or SSH connection to a port:
Type Command syntax
Telnet telnet ip-address tcp-port
where ip-address is the Digi CM unit's IP
address and tcp-port is the Listening TCP port
for a port
SSH ssh user-name@ ip-address tcp-port
where user-name is a user's name,
ip-address is the Digi CM unit's IP address and
tcp-port is the Listening TCP port for a port
Note The example assumes that the Listening TCP port is 7003, the default for port 3.

Custom menus

Custom menus are created by either root or the system administrator to limit your access to specific
ports. For more information, see

Port escape menu

Port escape is the ability to escape from a port without disconnecting. Port escape is available in
main sessions as well as sniff sessions. Every connection method accommodates port escape. You
configure the escape sequence per port. Follow the procedure to configure the port escape
sequence.
1 Serial Port > Configuration > Select the port number or All.
2 Host mode configuration > Port escape sequence - enter a letter for the Port escape sequence.
3 Click Save to flash and continue with other configurations or click Save & apply for the changes
to take effect.
