Remote RMX-3200 Version 5.2x Configuration Guide

configuration wizard
A configuration wizard is a user-friendly utility accessed from the CLI that prompts the
user for configuration information, then generates and applies the associated
commands in the running configuration.
connection mode
The connection mode specifies how an asynchronous serial controller determines
that it is up (for example, has an asynchronous connection).
connection string
The connection string is a string of characters sent to the attached device at
initialization by an Remote RMX-3200 asynchronous serial controller. Depending on
the connection settings, this string may or may not be sent to the attached device.
controller
A controller is a concept that is applied throughout the CLI. It is a software object on
Remote RMX-3200 that sends and receives a stream of bytes. A controller can be a
physical device, such as an Ethernet transceiver or a T1 framer, or it can be a virtual
entity, such as a T1 channel group.
cost
Cost is a metric used in spanning tree calculations to determine the best path for
reaching a destination. The higher a path's cost, the less desirable it is to use that
path and the more likely the spanning tree algorithm is to disable the port if a network
loop occurs.
cut-through
Cut-through support lets users connect directly to a TBOS serial port and issue TBOS
commands directly to TBOS network elements.
