Remote ports
The Digi CM unit supports remote ports. Remote ports are any type of port that can be accessed
using Telnet or SSH protocol. Types of ports include ports that are provided using PortServer
Terminals Servers or Sun ILOM ports. This feature establishes the Digi CM unit as the central access
system for any kind of text based out-of-band management. Using the Digi CM unit as a central
access system has multiple advantages:
â–ª Central point of access
â–ª Central user authentication
â–ª Capturing of every user transaction on the remote system
â–ª Keyword monitoring and alarm while connection is up
Configure remote ports
To configure a remote port use the following procedure.
1 Access the Digi CM unit’s web interface.
2 Under the Serial Port heading click Configuration.
3 Scroll down the page to the section called Remote port configuration.
4 Enter the port title and click Add.
5 A pop-up window will appear to confirm the action.
6 Click the port title to access the configuration menus.
7 Select Remote port parameters.
8 Enter the IP address, port number, and protocol to use.
9 Confirm you selections by clicking Save & apply. A pop-up window will appear to confirm the
successful execution.
Note If you want to use a Digi PortServer TS 2 as remote device you would configure: IP address as
assigned, IP port 2001 for port 1 or 2002 for port 2 and telnet or 2501/ 2502 when using SSH
as protocol.
All other settings of the remote port are equivalent to the settings of a local serial port.
Access a remote port
You can connect to a remote port using the web, Telnet or SSH client. You can also use the port
access menu or a custom menu to simplify navigation
