Line Commands

<host_port>

The port number the target host is listening on for incoming connections.

direct

Direct connections bypass the IOLAN, enabling the user to log straight into a specific host. A direct connection is recommended where a user logging in to the IOLAN is not required. It is also recommended where multiple sessions are not a requirement. The message Press return to continue is displayed on the users screen. The user must press a key to display the host login prompt. The message is redisplayed on logout.

silent

Silent connections are the same as direct connections, except they are permanently established. The host login prompt is displayed on the screen. Logging out redisplays this prompt. Silent connections, unlike direct connections, however, make permanent use of pseudo tty resources and therefore consume host resources even when not in use.

raw

Creates a connection where no authentication takes place and data is passed unchanged.

telnet

Sets the line for a telnet connection.

reverse

Enables a TCP/IP host to establish a login connection on an external machine attached to a port. For example, to access machines like protocol converters, statistical multiplexors, or machines like routers, firewalls, servers, etc.

dslogin

The default connection. The IOLAN displays a login on that line. For example, DSLogin is used when a System Administrator configures the IOLAN or users starts a session(s) from the IOLAN to hosts.

udp

Sets the line to listen for and/or send UDP data.

vmodem

The IOLAN port behaves as if it were a modem to the attached device.

client-tunnel

Sets the line for a client tunnel connection.

server-tunnel

Sets the line for a server tunnel connection.

modbus-master

Sets the line to act as a Modbus master.

custom-app

Sets the line to use the custom application created with the SDK.

trueport

Sets the line to communicate with the TruePort utility. You must install the TruePort utility on the host machine.
