7. In Network Service Settings, highlight only the service you wish to use. For
Telenet, the minimum recommended is: ADDP, Telnet, and HTTP.
The FireLine Ethernet is now ready to use as a Telnet server. To log into the
FireLine Ethernet, open up any telenet program, and connect to the IP address of
the FireLine Ethernet using port 23. Login with the user name and password.
The default user is:
root The default password is: dbps.
Use the “Connect 1” command to connect to the FireLine. Once connected, all
characters from the Telnet session will pass directly to the FireLine and be sent
over the air. All over the air data will be directed to the Telnet application.
5. RealPort Virtual COM port
5.1. RealPort Software
The FireLine Ethernet uses the patented RealPort COM/TTY port redirection for
Microsoft Windows, UNIX, and Linux environments. RealPort software provides a
virtual connection to serial devices, no matter where they reside on the network.
The software is installed directly on the host and allows applications to talk to
devices across a network as though the devices were directly attached to the
host. Actually, the devices are connected to a Digi device server or terminal
server somewhere on the network.
RealPort is unique among COM port re-directors because it is the only
implementation that allows multiple connections to multiple ports over a single
TCP/IP connection. Other implementations require a separate TCP/IP connection
or each serial port. Unique features also include full hardware and software flow
control, as well as tunable latency and throughput.
FireLine Ethernet devices with the Digi Connect module support RFC 2217, an
extension of the Telnet protocol used to access serial devices over the network.
