Bidirectional Telnet Protocol
Bidirectional Telnet protocol can be selected from the Ports > Physical Ports >
General from.
Bidirectional Telnet supports both a CAS profile Telnet connection, and a TS
profile menu shell. Both connection protocols are supported on one port,
however, connections cannot be opened simultaneously.
Note: The Console profile features such as data buffering, multiple users, and event
notifications are not available under this protocol.
When the attached terminal is powered on and the keyboard’s [Enter] key is
pressed, a login banner and a login prompt is displayed.
Note: If the user does not login within a configurable timeframe, the serial port
returns to an idle state. The timeout period can be configured through the Web
Manager Ports > Physical Ports > Access form.
Local Terminal Dedicates a computer terminal that is connected to the selected
serial port for connecting to ACS. When the attached terminal is
powered on, ACS opens a Telnet session on itself. The user then can
use any of the ACS’s Linux commands. You can also create a
terminal profile menu, Applications > Terminal Profile Menu that
enables the user to quickly launch sessions on any number of remote
hosts.
Raw Socket Dedicates a computer terminal that is connected to the selected
serial port to access a specific remote host using the Raw Socket
protocol. When the attached terminal is powered on, the ACS opens
a Raw Socket session on the host using an IP address and TCP port
number that should be specified on the “Other” form, Ports >
Physical Ports > Other.
