4: Using the ETS
The sections in this chapter show how to use the ETS in a variety of applications.
For detailed instructions on how to set up the ETS as a console server, see Console Server Example.
For instructions on how to use the ETS in serial tunnel mode, see Serial Tunnel Example on page 23.
For information about using the ETS with the Lantronix Comm Port Redirector, see Comm Port Redirector on page 24.
Keep in mind that you must reboot the ETS after issuing a Define command. The command will take effect when the ETS reboots. The one exception is that Define Port commands take effect when a port is logged out.
Console Server Example
When you use the ETS as a console server, you can remotely manage devices and equipment from anywhere on the network.
Figure 4-1. Console Server
To use the ETS as a console server, you must connect the ETS serial ports to the serial console/management ports of other equipment such as UNIX servers, PBX switches, routers, network switches, or other similar devices.
Once you have completed the connections, you can establish a Telnet connection to the ETS IP address and socket number of the desired port. The ETS serial ports allow two types of socket connections: Telnet IAC interpretation at socket 200x, and raw TCP connections at socket 300x, where x is the port number. For example, to open a Telnet connection to port 4 of an ETS at IP address 192.0.1.168, you would issue the command “Telnet 192.0.1.168 2004” from your system prompt. In a Windows environment, use a space instead of a colon in the command syntax.
