Terminal applications involve connecting terminals to UNIX or Windows servers over a network.
A terminal connects to the appropriately configured serial port the NPort 6000, and the NPort 6000
transmits information to and from a UNIX or Windows server over the network through its
Ethernet port. You may need to check with your network administrator to determine the
appropriate terminal mode. All terminal modes support fast keys as used in many terminal
applications.
Please refer to
Chapter 4, Introducing Serial Port Operation Modes, for detailed information and
configuration instructions.
Terminal ASCII Mode

sessions on the same terminal. This mode is used for text-based terminals with no file transfer
capability or encryption.
Terminal BIN Mode
Terminal BIN mode allows one session per port and is used for terminal applications that include
file transfer features.
SSH Mode
SSH mode allows one session per port and is used for secure terminal applications that abide by
the SSH protocol.
