Outgoing Network Connection
Selecting this option enables an outgoing connection to the specified host. The Network
Connection Options (below) identify the host.
Outgoing Telnet Connection
Selecting this option enables an outgoing telnet connection to the specified host. The
Network Connection Options identify the host and the
Telnet Options (below) configure the specific type of telnet connection.
Network Connection Options
Destination Hostname/IP Address
Specify the IP address or Host name of the remote host in the Destination IP Address field.
Destination TCP Port
Specify the destination TCP port. The default port for telnet servers is 23, but it is usually
different for other types of servers.
Source TCP Port
In most cases, the value used for the source port is arbitrary and you can leave this field set
to 0 for "any". However, if your server or firewall has specific requirements you may specify
an explicit source port number in the Source TCP Port field. If this port is not available
when the TCP service starts up, an error will occur and the TCP service will reset and try
again.
Require carrier/Generate hangups
If you have configured a serial port with an outgoing service, you may want to delay the
TCP connection establishment until an attached terminal is powered up or an attached dial-
in modem has received a call. In this case, select the Require carrier/Generate hangups
option. The TCP session will not begin until the gateway senses the presence of DTR (in
DCE mode) or DCD (in DTE mode) on the port and it will close the TCP session if
DTR/DCD is lost.
Telnet clients usually do not want the operation of the port to be affected by the presence,
absence, or loss of modem signals. You probably do not want this option selected for those
applications.
Restart Delay
The Restart Delay keeps the TCP service from constantly retrying if the remote host
becomes unavailable, or in the event of network errors or other unexpected situations.
