Network/serial clients
A network/serial client connection is one in which a ConnectPort LTS product 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
Autoconnect behavior client connections
In client connections that involve autoconnect behaviors, a ConnectPort LTS product initiates a
network connection based on timing, serial activity, or serial modem signals. Autoconnect-related
client connections include:
 Raw TCP connection: The ConnectPort LTS product initiates a raw TCP socket connection to a
remote entity.
 Telnet connection: The ConnectPort LTS product initiates a TCP connection using the Telnet
protocol to a remote entity.
 SSH connection: The ConnectPort LTS product initiates a TCP connection using the SSH
protocol to a remote entity.
 Raw TLS encrypted connection: The ConnectPort LTS product initiates an encrypted raw TCP
socket connection to a remote entity.
 Rlogin connection: The ConnectPort LTS product initiates a TCP connection using the rlogin
protocol to a remote entity.
