CMS-6R4 Series - User’s Guide

6.6. The Direct Connect Feature

The Direct Connect feature allows you to initiate a Telnet session with the CMS-6R4 and make an immediate connection to a speciﬁc RS232 Serial Port of your choice, without ﬁrst being presented with the command interface. This allows you to connect to a discrete TCP port mapped directly to one of the CMS-6R4 RS232 Ports.

Direct Connect employs unique, pre-assigned TCP port numbers for each RS232 Port. The user connects to the RS232 Port of choice by including the associated TCP port number in the Telnet connect command line.

The Direct Connect feature can be individually conﬁgured at each CMS-6R4 Serial RS232 Port. In addition, Direct Connect allows you to communicate with the CMS-6R4 using either Standard Telnet protocol, or Raw Socket Mode. Direct Connect can be used with any of the available RS232 Port modes (Any to Any, Buffer, Modem, and Passive).

6.6.1.Standard Telnet Protocol and Raw Socket Mode

The Direct Connect feature offers the option to communicate with the CMS-6R4 unit using either Standard Telnet Protocol or Raw Socket Mode. The TCP Port number included in the Telnet connect command line determines which protocol is used.

When Standard Telnet Protocol is used, the CMS-6R4 will respond to all IACs. When Raw Socket Mode is used, data is always sent "As Is", and command echo is always enabled.

Notes:

•Telnet ports 23, 2001, and 3001 allow normal access to the CMS- 6R4 command mode. However, port 3001 will transfer data using raw socket mode.

•The "Discard LF" setting (Telnet Parameters Menu) does not apply to Raw connections.
