dport={tcp port|none}
The TCP port for users of autoconnect ports, which is one of the
following:
• For Telnet, use 23.
• For Rlogin, use 513.
• For a physical port on the device server, use the base TCP socket
number and then the port number. For example (if you use the
default base TCP socket number), to indicate an autoconnect Telnet
connection to port 12, specify dport=2012. Similarly, to indicate an
autoconnect raw connection to port 12, specify dport=2112. If you
specify 0, Rlogin is used.
• None, which disables the option.
The default is 0.
pm • The device never generates a login.
• This device’s characteristics are specific to modem emulation settings for a given port.
• DTR and RTS are low when the connection is idle.
• Use dev=pm when initiating communication with the device.
power
(PortServer
TS 8/16 only)
• The device never generates a login.
• This device’s characteristics are specific to power management settings for a given port.
• DTR and RTS are low when the connection is idle.
• Use dev=power when initiating communication with the power device.
• Change from dev=power to other device name to stop communication with power unit.
prn • The device never generates a login.
• device server ignores carrier.
• DTR and RTS are low when the connection is idle.
• This type usually requires cable support for transmit, receive, and ground only, which
means a 3-wire crossover cable will work. 6-, 8-, and 10-wire crossover cables work as
well.
• Use dev=prn for reverse Telnet connections.
rp • The device never generates a login.
• The device ignores carrier.
• DTR and RTS are low when the connection is idle.
• This type usually requires cable support for transmit, receive, and ground only, which
means a 3-wire crossover cable will work. 6-, 8-, and 10-wire crossover cables work as
well.
• Use dev=rp for RealPort connections.
term • The device generates a login when it receives data.
• The device ignores loss of carrier (DCD low).
• DTR and RTS are high when the connection is idle.
• This type usually requires cable support for transmit, receive, and ground only, which
means a 3-wire crossover cable will work. 6-, 8-, and 10-wire crossover cables work as
well.
•Do not use dev=term for RealPort and reverse Telnet connections.
