assigned to the port. The default is Enable.
Assigned IP - Also known as alternate IP, this field assigns an IP address to the port, enabling you to Telnet directly to the serial port using an IP address (without having to specify a TCP port).
Listening TCP port - This is the TCP port you will specify when connecting directly to the port using Telnet or SSH.
Terminal server option - The Terminal server option allows you to define the functionality of this port if a terminal is connected. The Remote connection establishes a Telnet/SSH connection to the destination IP. The Shell program launches an application on the Digi CM (specified in Terminal Shell program path.)
Terminal server shell program path - Path to specified shell program. Used in Terminal Server mode.
Destination IP - Used in terminal server mode, this is the IP address of the system that you will be automatically connected to when you access the port.
Destination port - Used in terminal server mode, this is the TCP port that will be used when the port you accessed is automatically connected to a system on the network.
Protocol - The options are SSH, RawTCP, and Telnet.
Port escape sequence - The letter to initiate port escape.
Port break sequence - The sequence of characters that sends a break character to a device.
Inactivity timeout - The timeout length ranges from 1 to 3600 seconds. 0 means that there is no timeout.

Supported Protocols
.In configuring a serial port, you have three protocol options. The three protocols available are: RawTCP, SSH, and Telnet. Choose SSH as the protocol when logging in from an SSH client program to access a port. Choose RawTCP when connecting directly to a TCP socket. Choose Telnet when logging in from a Telnet client program and accessing the ports. Use the Host
