Host Mode Configuration
Dial-In Modem Mode
In this mode, the Digi CM assumes an external modem is attached to the serial port and is waiting for a dial-in connection from a remote site. When a user dials-in using a terminal application, the Digi CM accepts the connection and displays the appropriate prompt or menu for you that logged in. Example: User ’root’ would see the command line interface (CLI), whereas the user ’admin’ would see the config menu or CLI depending on the shell for that user.
Dial-In Terminal Server
Dial-in terminal server mode is a combination of the terminal server mode and the dial-in modem mode. In the dial-in terminal server mode, the Digi CM assumes the serial port is connected to an external modem and is waiting for a dial-in connection from a remote site. When you dial-in using terminal applications, the Digi CM accepts the connection as a Telnet or SSH client to a pre-defined server. This mode is most frequently used when you want to use modems to access servers on a network.
