Host Mode Configuration
The Digi Passport unit provides several modes of communication between
serial devices and remote hosts: Console server, terminal server, dial-in
modem, dial-in terminal server, and Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) mode.
On the Basic configuration page, for the Host mode setting, select from
a set of predefined modes of communication between serial devices and
remote hosts. Selecting the host mode automatically configures several
settings, such as the type of console server, protocol, and escape
sequences used. To review or modify any host-mode settings, go to the
Advanced configuration settings and click the Host mode configuration
link. See "Advanced Host Mode Settings" on page 97 for descriptions.
Here are descriptions of the supported host modes.
Console Server Mode (default host mode)
Configuring a serial port as a console server creates a TCP socket on the
Digi Passport unit that listens for a Telnet or SSH client connection.
Connecting to the TCP socket provides access to the device attached to
the serial port, as if the device were connected directly to the network.
RawTCP is also supported with the Console Server Mode.
