4.3 Connecting to Serial Devices
The SCPS offers several methods for connecting to attached serial devices: Telnet,
serial CLI, PPP and SSH.
The SCPS monitors data traffic when you are connected to an attached serial device.
You may specify a time-out value with the Server CLI command. You may also specify
a time-out value for each port with the Port Set command. When no data is received or
transmitted for the configured number of minutes, the connection is terminated.
The following time-out values are used:
• For a Telnet session, the Server CLI time-out value is used.
• For a serial port session, if the port’s confi gured time-out value is Ø, the Server
CLI time-out value is used, even if it is also Ø.
• For a serial port session, if the port’s confi gured time-out value is non-Ø, that
value is used.
Connecting to devices using Telnet
Each SCPS serial port has a unique Telnet socket number that provides a connection
to the attached serial device.
To connect to a device using Telnet:
Type telnet, followed by the SCPS IP address and the port’s socket number, which
is 3000 plus the port number.
For example, the following Telnet command connects to the serial device attached
to port 7 of the SCPS.
telnet 192.168.0.5 3007
If an authentication method other than None has been configured for the SCPS, you
will be prompted for a username and password. Once authentication completes,
your connection is confirmed. When you successfully connect to the serial device,
you will see a display similar to the following.
Username: Myname
Password: ******
Authentication Complete
Connected to Port: 7 9600,8,N,1,XON/XOFF
Data entered at the Telnet client is written to the attached serial device. Any data
received by the SCPS from the serial device is output to your Telnet client.
