Virtual Ports - Lantronix ETS Reference Manual

Ports
To specify a preferred Telnet host, use the Set/Define Port Preferred Telnet command.
Local>> DEFINE PORT 2 PREFERRED TELNET 192.75.1.0
Environment strings can be added to the commands to specify additional connection information for a
preferred connection. The following example tells the ETS to use the remote host's FTP port (port 21) for
the connection, and to use Passall mode.
Local>> DEFINE PORT 5 PREFERRED "billvax" ENVIRONMENT 21+P
Environment for LAT and TCP/IP connections is described in Environment Strings on page 2-15. The key
letters are described in Set/Define Port Preferred on page 12-46.
5.1.2.4.2 Dedicated Services and Hosts
To specify a dedicated service, use the Set/Define Port Dedicated command.
Local>> DEFINE PORT 2 DEDICATED lrs_modem
To specify a dedicated Telnet host, use the Set/Define Port Dedicated Telnet command.
Local>> DEFINE PORT 3 DEDICATED TELNET 192.0.1.221
When the user logs off the service or out of the Telnet host, or when the service or host cannot be reached
for some reason, the user will be logged out of the ETS.
As with preferred connections, environment strings can be added to the commands to specify additional
connection information.
5.1.2.4.3 Dedicated SLIP
A port can be configured to automatically run SLIP when the port is started. No other protocol can run on
the port; it will continue to run SLIP until it is logged out. To dedicate a port to SLIP, use the following
command:
Local>> DEFINE PORT 3 SLIP DEDICATED

5.1.3 Virtual Ports

Incoming Telnet and Rlogin connections are not associated with a physical port. Instead, they are associated
with a virtual port, port 0, which serves for the duration of the connection.
