Setting Meaning
Operating Mode The choices are:
Console Management: In this mode, users establish a Telnet or
SSH session under the SN0108 / SN0116 to manage a server
or serial device connected to the port. Users can log in using
the browser Telnet function, a direct Telnet session, SSH or
PuTTY. This mode can also be used for Out-of-Band
operation via the SN0108 / SN0116’s Console Port. See Out
of Band Operation, Chapter 6.
Raw TCP Mode: This mode is used with socket programming to
directly control the device’s data transmission without the
need for serial port control or serial modem signal control.
Only data is transmitted (using IP as the protocol).
Note: When you use the IP address you must also specify the
port number. For example:
192.168.0.200 5003.
For security purposes, access to the port can be limited to
specific IP addresses. See Direct Access, page 40, for further
details.
Real COM Port: Used with a virtual COM port driver on the local
machine (See Real COM Port Management, Chapter 7 for
virtual port management details.) The device connected to this
port appears as if it were a device directly connected to a
COM port on the local computer. Data transmission between
the device and the local computer takes place over the virtual
COM port to the SN0108 / SN0116.
This mode is useful with serial devices such POS terminals,
Bar Code Readers, Serial printers, etc. In addition, this mode
can be used with other Altusen management products, such
as the PN9108 Power Over the NET™.
As with Raw TCP Mode, access to the port can be limited to
specific IP addresses with the Direct Access function (see
page 40).
Timeout If there is no input on this port for the amount of time set here, the
port is released for use by another user.
Note: This field does not appear if the port is selected as a
Console port. (See OOBC, page 28, for selection details.)
Authorized
Operators
The Authorized Operators field indicates the users that are
authorized to operate the port (seeUser Manager, page 37). The
information in this field is for viewing purposes only. It can't be
changed on this page.
