8.1.2 - Protocols: telnet, tty, ssh, ssh2 or serial
Connecting a character based session can be done:
- Either in TCP/IP mode via telnet, tty or ssh2 protocols
- Or in serial mode (RS232) by using a USB-Serial adaptor
a) The TELNET Protocol
The telnet server is a standard module of the Unix/Linux TCP/IP stack. The
AX3000 can immediately open a client telnet session, without any additional
software or alteration to the Unix/Linux settings.
Main characteristics of a telnet session:
- Dynamic allocation of pseudo-terminals (ptty),
- System access is controlled by a 'login', which is generated by the telnetd
daemon,
- The value of the TERM environment variable is negotiated after the login
stage. (See Chapter 8.1.8 for default TERM values.)
b) The TTY Protocol
The tty server is an Axel proprietary protocol. Additional software is required
(see Chapter 8.4).
