Reverse Telnet Mode; Ppp Mode; Disabled Mode - Moxa Technologies NPort 5000 Series User Manual

Reverse Telnet Mode

Console management is commonly used by connecting to Console/AUX or COM ports of routers, switches,
and UPS units. Rtelnet works the same as TCP Server mode in that only one TCP port is listened to after
booting up. The system then waits for a host on the network to initiate a connection. The difference is that
the TCP Server mode does not provide the conversion function provided by Telnet. If the connected devices
need to use the CR/LF conversion function when controlling, then users must choose Reverse Telnet mode.

PPP Mode

PPP Mode is only supported by the NPort 5600 Series.
The NPort 5000 provides dial-in access for ISPs and enterprises that need a remote access solution. When a
user at a remote site uses a PPP dial-up connection to access the NPort 5600, the NPort 5600 plays the role
of a dial-up server, but also ensures that the user has legal access to the network by verifying the user's
identity with the NPort 5600 User Table.

Disabled Mode

When the Operation Mode for a particular port is set to Disabled, that port will be disabled.
