Introduction
The Digi CM unit supports dial-in connections from remote sites for out-of-band access. In this
configuration, the Digi CM unit has serial ports configured for external modems and waits for dial-in
connections from remote sites. If you dial-in using a terminal application, the Digi CM unit accepts
the connection and displays a menu of available serials ports. In a dial-in terminal server mode, the
Digi CM unit makes a TCP connection with either a Telnet or SSH client to a pre-defined server.
RawTCP is also an option for dial-in users.
For more information on the different types of Host mode configuration, see Host mode
configuration.
