NPort 5400 Series User’s Manual | Choosing the Proper Operation Mode |
Reverse Telnet Mode
Console management is commonly used by connecting to Console/AUX or COM ports of routers, switches, and UPS units. Rtelnet works the same as RAW mode in that only one TCP port is listened to after booting up. The system then waits for a host on the network to initiate a connection. The difference is that the RAW mode does not provide the conversion function provided by Telnet. If the connected devices need to use the CR/LF conversion function when controlling, then users must choose Rtelnet mode.
Disabled Mode
When the Operation Mode for a particular port is set to Disabled, that port will be disabled.
