Configuring the Digi Device as a Server
Configuring the Digi Device as a Server
Introduction
This section describes how to configure the Digi One IA or
Digi One SP as a server, providing TCP or UDP socket
service for a serial device connected to the serial port. In this
type of configuration, another network device initiates the
communications. The Digi device server simply waits for
incoming traffic and then passes data to the serial device
connected to its port. The following figure illustrates this
configuration
RFC 2217 Support
Device servers support RFC 2217, an extension of the Telnet
protocol used to access serial devices over the network. RFC
2217 implementations enable applications to set the
parameters of remote serial ports (baud rate, flow control
etc.), detect line signal changes, as well as receive and
transmit data. The configuration information provided in this
section applies to device servers functioning as RFC 2217
servers. No additional configuration is required.
