Chapter 4 27
Configuring Ports
Introduction
This chapter includes information for configuring the serial ports on the Digi
CM. Serial ports can be configured for a particular host mode which defines
the type of data communication between the port and a remote host. Ports can
also be configured for a particular protocol, authentication method, or user
access restriction.
Host Mode Configuration
The Digi CM provides for four modes of data communication between serial
devices and remote hosts. The four modes are: console server mode, terminal
server mode, dial-in modem mode, and dial-in terminal server mode. Below is
a brief description of each mode.
Console Server Mode
Configuring a serial port as a console server creates a TCP socket on the Digi
CM that listens for a Telnet or SSH client connection. Users who connect to the
TCP socket have access to the device attached to the serial port as though the
device were connected directly to the network. RawTCP is also supported with
the Console Server Mode.
