5: Using the MSS
This chapter explains how to use the MSS once it is running. Users can make host-initiated
(incoming) connections and use the host applications and code examples included on the
MSS distribution CD-ROM. Users can also use the MSS interactively to make outgoing
connections, manipulate sessions, and view server and network information with the help
of Show commands.
In addition, this chapter explains:
◆
Using the MSS Flash disk and removable ATA flash cards (see Disk Management
on page 5-7).
◆
Configuring an MSS-to-MSS encrypted session (see Encrypted Sessions on page 5-
9).
◆
Setting up two MSS units to emulate a direct serial connection over the LAN (see
Serial Tunnel on page 5-10).
◆
Using the MSS as a data pipe between a serial device and multiple hosts on the
network (see Multihost Mode on page 5-11).
◆
Making the MSS look like a modem so that it can be used with existing
communications software (see Modem Emulation Mode on page 5-13).
◆
Using the Lantronix COM Port Redirector software to redirect PC COM ports (see
COM Port Redirector on page 5-15).
5.1 Incoming Connections
5.1.1 Socket Connections
Each node on a network has a node address, and each node address can allow connections
on one or more sockets. Sometimes these sockets are referred to as ports. TCP/IP
connections can be made directly to one of the MSS serial ports using sockets.
Note:
If a serial port is in use, the socket connection will be refused.
There are two categories of sockets. Well-known sockets are those that have been defined
in RFCs (Requests for Comments); for example, port 23 is used for Telnet connections.
There are also custom sockets that users and developers define for their own specific needs.
