 rlogin: A user can perform a remote login (rlogin) to a Digi Connect device’s
CLI. The Digi Connect WAN does not support rlogin.
Network/Serial Clients
A network/serial client connection is one in which a Digi Connect device initiates a
network connection or opens a serial port for communication. There are several categories
of network/serial client connections:
 Autoconnect behavior client connections
 Command-Line Interface (CLI)-based clients
 Modem emulation (pseudo-modem) client connections (not supported in Digi
Connect WAN.)
Autoconnect Behavior Client Connections
In client connections that involve autoconnect behaviors, a Digi Connect device initiates a
network connection based on timing, serial activity, or serial modem signals.
Autoconnect-related client connections include:
 Raw TCP connection: The Dig Connect device initiates a raw TCP socket
connection to a remote entity.
 Telnet connection: The Dig Connect device initiates a TCP connection using
the Telnet protocol to a remote entity.
 Raw TLS encrypted connection: The Dig Connect device initiates an encrypted
raw TCP socket connection to a remote entity.
 Rlogin connection: The Dig Connect device initiates a TCP connection using
the rlogin protocol to a remote entity. (Not supported in Digi Connect WAN.)
Command-Line Interface (CLI)-based Client Connections
CLI-based client connections are available for use once a user has established a session
with the Digi Connect device’s Command-Line Interface. CLI-based client connections
include:
 telnet: A connection is made to a remote entity using the Telnet protocol.
 rlogin: A connection is made to a remote entity using the Rlogin protocol. (Not
supported in Digi Connect WAN.)
 connect: Begin communicating with a local serial port.
