Direct port access (ports 2001 through 2002)

Direct access allows a direct, one-to-one connection to any of the

serial ports using a reserved IP port number:

COM1: direct access port #2001

COM2: direct access port #2002

When a TCP session is initiated to port 2001 through port 2002,

all data sent and received passes directly to and from that port

without any processing. Serial port parameters should be set

via a Telnet connection prior to using direct access.

Using direct access

1. Access the unit via Telnet and conﬁgure the COM port

parameters as desired using serial commands (see the

“Command/response table” earlier in this chapter).

2. Close the initial Telnet session.

3. Open a direct access Telnet session to the selected port by

entering the IP address followed by a space then the port

number (e.g., 192.168.244.244 2001).

4. Send serial commands directly through the selected COM

port to the attached A/V device.
