Terminal Server
21.1
Terminal Server service
iS5 routers allows a special service for transposing of a TCP session to serial session.
Networking:
A router acting as the terminal server can be connected to the Ethernet telnet client
(management station) via:
local connection at its ports or
Via IP network.
In both cases the connection is TCP based.
A router acting as the terminal server can be connected to the serial end device (managed
station) via:
local connection at its RS-232 ports or
Over UDP connection to a remote iS5 router to which the serial device is connected
directly to.
In this case there will be a “transparent serial tunneling service” over the IP network
(encapsulation of serial data in UDP|TCP packets)
