3.1.3 SDT Mode
This setting allows port forwarding of RDP, VNC, HTPP, HTTPS, SSH, Telnet, and other LAN protocols to
computers that are locally connected to the console server by their serial COM port. Such port forwarding
requires a PPP link to be set up over this serial port.
For configuration details See Chapter 5.
3.1.4 Device (RPC, UPS, Environmental) Mode

Power Supply (UPS), Remote Power Controller / Power Distribution Units (RPC) or Environmental
Monitoring Device (Environmental)

3.1.5 Terminal Server Mode
•
Select
Terminal Server Mode
and the
Terminal Type
(vt220, vt102, vt100, Linux or ANSI) to enable
a getty on the selected serial port
The getty configures the port and wait for a connection to be made. An active connection on a serial
device is indicated by the raised Data Carrier Detect (DCD) pin on the serial device. When a connection is
detected, the getty program issues a login: prompt, and invokes the login program to handle the system
login.
NOTE
Selecting Terminal Server mode disables Port Manager for that serial port, so data is no longer
logged for alerts etc.
