USRobotics NETServer/8 Switch User Manual


 
10-36 Command Reference
You can find these drivers (daemons called nettty and in.pmd) on
the U.S. Robotics web site.
To configure a port for Host Device use,
set s<port #> device /dev/<device name>
If you are using a UNIX pseudo TTY driver in conjunction with
the host device setting, the <device name> field must contain
the name of the pseudo TTY device being used. See Chapter 7
for more information on using such a driver. If you are not
using a pseudo TTY driver, this field should contain the word
network.
If you want to set the port to both User Login and Host Device,
use the following command:
set s<port #> twoway /dev/<device name>
You can also enable any of the Network port settings (except
Hardwired) by inserting the network parameters before the
word device. For example:
set s4 network dial in device /dev/network
Device Service
When configuring a host device port, choose which service hosts
will use to establish connections with the modem: PortMux,
Rlogin, Telnet, or Netdata. The default is Netdata, which
provides a clear TCP connection to the port. Use the following
command:
set s<port #> service_device <service> <TCP port #>
<TCP port #> is the port number that will be assigned to the
modem. We suggest 6000 plus the modem number. For ex-
ample, if you entered the following command,
set s10 service_device telnet 6000
a host would use the following command to get to the modem’s
command line:
telnet <NETServer’s IP address> 6000
