Terminal server mode
In terminal server mode, the Digi CM unit’s serial port is configured to wait for data from the device
connected to the port. If data is detected, the Digi CM unit starts a TCP session as a Telnet or SSH
client to a pre-defined server. The server must be defined by you before the port can be configured
for a Telnet or SSH client. This mode is used when you want to access servers on the network from a
serial terminal. RawTCP is also supported with the Terminal Server Mode.
Dial-In modem mode
In this mode, the Digi CM unit assumes an external modem is attached to the serial port and is
waiting for a dial-in connection from a remote site. When a user dials-in using a terminal
application, the Digi CM unit accepts the connection and displays the appropriate prompt or menu
for you that logged in. Example: User ’root’ would see the command line interface (CLI), whereas the
user ’admin’ would see the config menu or CLI depending on the shell for that user.
