Introduction
This chapter provides information on configuring serial ports. Key port
configuration attributes include the host mode, which defines a type of
communication between the port and a remote host, the protocol,
authentication, user access restrictions, and serial communication attributes.
Host Mode Configuration
The Digi CM provides four modes of communication between serial devices
and remote hosts. Console server, terminal server, dial-in modem, and dial-in
terminal server. These are described in the following sections.
Console Server Mode
Configuring a serial port as a console server creates a TCP socket on the Digi
CM that listens for a Telnet or SSH client connection. Users who connect to the
TCP socket have access to the device attached to the serial port as though the
device were connected directly to the network. RawTCP is also supported with
the Console Server Mode.
