Serial Ports

The following parameters are configurable in console-server mode:

Listening TCP Port Number

You can also access a serial port through the IP address of the Console Server and the listening TCP port number of the serial port.

If the IP address of the Console Server and the serial port are assigned as 192.168.123.100 and the listening TCP port number is 4001, the user can connect to the port as follows: telnet 192.168.123.100 4001

Protocol

Select “Telnet”, “SSH”, or “Raw TCP” as the protocol. If users are using a telnet client program, select “Telnet”. If users are using an SSH client program, select “SSH”. When “Raw TCP” is selected, direct TCP socket communication is available between the Console Server and the remote host.

Inactivity Time-Out

Enable this feature to avoid a client holding on to a TCP connection when there has been no activity on a serial port for a long period of time. If “Inactivity timeout” is enabled, and there is no data activity between the Console Server and the telnet/SSH client for the specified inactivity time-out interval (i.e., no data activity through the serial port), the existing TCP session will automatically be closed. If you want to maintain the connection indefinitely, configure the inactivity time-out period to “0”.

TCP Keep-Alive (No Configuration Required)

In order to avoid TCP-connection lockup, the Console Server will continue to check the connection status between the telnet/SSH client and the Console Server by periodically sending “keep alive” packets. If the telnet/SSH client does not answer the packets, the system will assume that the connection is down. The Console Server will then close the existing telnet/SSH connection, regardless of the inactivity setting. This will prevent the TCP connection from locking when an application is improperly closed or the network link is interrupted.

Terminal-Server Mode

In terminal-server mode, the Console Server’s serial port is configured to wait for data from the device connected to the port. If data is detected, the Console Server will initiate a TCP session as a telnet or SSH client to a predefined server. The server must be defined by users before the port can be configured for a telnet or SSH client. This mode can be used to access servers on the network from a serial terminal. RawTCP is also supported with the terminal-server mode.
