Configuring a Port for Access to Shared Devices
5-12 PortMaster Configuration Guide
You can provide access to host device ports by establishing a pseudo-tty connection to
the port from a UNIX host with the PortMaster daemon software installed. In this case,
the port operates as a host-controlled device. Figure 5-2 shows a host device
configuration using the PortMaster device service and a pseudo-tty connection. This
configuration is most commonly used to provide access to shared devices such as
printers.

Host Device Configuration
Figure 5-3 shows a host device configuration where the device service is set as rlogin,
Telnet, or netdata. In this configuration, the host device name is set as /dev/network.
This configuration is used in cases where users want to log in remotely via Telnet or
rlogin to the shared device before transferring data, such as with a modem.
