SN0108 / SN0116 User Manual

(Continued from previous page.)

Setting

Meaning

 

 

Operating Mode

The choices are:

 

Console Management: In this mode, users establish a

 

Telnet or SSH session under the SN0108 / SN0116 to

 

manage a server or serial device connected to the port.

 

Users can log in using the browser Telnet function, a

 

direct Telnet session, SSH or PuTTY. This mode can

 

also be used for Out-of-Band operation via the SN0108 /

 

SN0116’s Console Port. See Out of Band Operation,

 

Chapter 6.

 

Raw TCP Mode: This mode is used with socket

 

programming to directly control the device’s data

 

transmission without the need for serial port control or

 

serial modem signal control. Only data is transmitted

 

(using IP as the protocol).

 

Note: When you use the IP address you must also

 

specify the port number. For example:

 

192.168.0.200 5003.

 

For security purposes, access to the port can be limited

 

to specific IP addresses. See Direct Access, page 34,

 

for further details.

 

Real COM Port: Used with a virtual COM port driver on

 

the local machine (See Virtual Port Management,

 

Chapter 7 for virtual port management details.) The

 

device connected to this port appears as if it were a

 

device directly connected to a COM port on the local

 

computer. Data transmission between the device and

 

the local computer takes place over the virtual COM port

 

to the SN0108 / SN0116.

 

This mode is useful with serial devices such POS

 

terminals, Bar Code Readers, Serial printers, etc. In

 

addition, this mode can be used with other Altusen

 

management products, such as the PN9108 Power

 

Over the NET™.

 

As with Raw TCP Mode, access to the port can be

 

limited to specific IP addresses with the Direct Access

 

function (see page 34).
