IP Terminal Server Setup
If you have workstations or terminals at a remote site that require access to a host on the local network, you can configure the NETServer to function as a terminal server.
Terminal or Workstation Setup
A.The remote user should get the following information from the NETServer’s system administrator:
∙The user name and password that he or she will use.
∙The telephone number of the NETServer the user must dial into.
∙If the terminal or workstation user will be able to choose which host he or she will log into for a given session, the IP address or name of each possible host must also be known.
B.The dial in workstation or terminal should be configured for the following communications parameters:
∙8 bits, No parity, and 1 stop bit
∙Hardware (RTS/CTS) flow control
∙Normal Carrier Detect
∙Hang up and reset when DTR drops
Note that although these settings are the defaults, you can change the NETServer’s communications parameters if you want to. See Port Configuration, Serial Communications Parameters in Chapter 10 and your modem reference material for more information.
