. The DS2000-TS can be configured for Terminal Server and IP routing applications. This
chapter illustrates how to configure a basic Terminal Server application. It is assumed that the physical
network connections have been made to the DS2000-TS, that the network designs are complete, and
that all configuration data are available.

The Terminal Server feature allows for TCP/IP applications to interact with Async serial-based devices over
an IP-based network. Asynchronous data streams are packetized into TCP/IP formatted frames using
traditional terminal server functions. The frame is then routed over an IP network.
To configure the
DS2000-TS
to act as a terminal server, the user must do the following:
•
Configure the Router features
•
Enter the IP address for the Ethernet port (example in
, 192.168.1.1)
•
Select the discovery protocol being used
•
Configure the serial ports
•
Assign a port name
•
Assign local socket number
•
Set line speed and parity
•
Assign DSS usage
•
Assign the proper profile
shows a very basic network. The following procedure describes how to configure the
DS2000-TS
on the right, i.e. a typical remote site. The configuration allows the IP-based host system on the
left, labeled B, to send and receive data from all serial devices configured on the
DS2000-TS
, labeled A.
Refer to this figure during the configuration to understand the connection process. The procedures use the
configuration data from the figure below. Note that the Router at location B (which can also be a
