CHAPTER 4: SYSTEM ADMINISTRATION
Table 4–47: Terminal Server: Channel Settings
Field Name
Field Value
Port ID:
A unique identifier for the serial port being configured.
Call Direction:
The direction in which the TCP connection will be established.
This parameter takes one of the following values:
• In:
The port acts like a passive TCP server, listening at
the configured Local TCP port.
• Out:
The port acts like an active TCP client and attempts
to connect out to the server specified by the
Remote IP and Remote TCP parameters.
You can add multiple "Out" channels to a single serial port;
however, you can have only a single "In" channel assigned to a
serial port. You cannot assign two channels the same Local
Address and Local Port.
Default value = In
Session Type
:
This parameter takes one of the following values:
• Raw:
Provides a transparent pipe for serial data.
• Telnet: Enables basic Telnet negotiation and control
character processing (ECHO and BINARY modes
supported).
Default value = Raw
Priority (DiffServ):
Each IP packet generated on this port will be assigned a
DiffServ Code Point (DSCP) based on the priority set by the user.
The priorities are:
• Default – Best Effort Service (DSCP 0). This is normal
queuing.
• Expedited – Expedited Forwarding (DSCP 0x2E)
(RFC2598). This will also result in data from this
port having a higher priority on WAN ports.
Local IP
:
The local IP address upon which the server listens for
connections when the direction is set to “In” or “Both”. This
parameter may be set to any of the valid IP addresses
configured for the system.
Default value = Management IP address of the device
Local TCP
:
The local TCP port upon which the server listens for
connections. This parameter may be set to any value between
1000 and 65535.
Note:
No two rows in the table may have the same Local IP and
Local TCP combination.
