Character Mode Sites

The SCS allows you to create a character mode site. A character mode site is treated as a normal site that
does not run a serial protocol. The site still allows modems to be dialed, and can have a chat script and other
functions, but once the site is up, it does not run PPP. The character mode site is normally used to associate
an IP address with a particular serial port or to control an external device using a chat script.
To create a character mode site, use the Set/Define Site <sitename> Protocol None and Set/Define Site
<sitename> IP Remoteaddr <ip_address> commands and then create a host route that points to it with the
Set/Define IP Route <ip_address> Site <sitename> command. The <ip_address> must be on the same IP
subnet as the SCS itself. To make a text mode connection to the serial port, Telnet to <ip_address.
