Chapter 7 – Telnet Dialout

Introduction

Telnet Dialout Feature

The Telnet feature allows you to access the serial port and establish two-way traffic between the
Telnet/RAW-TCP client and the serial device.
This chapter provides examples of a Telnet client on an IP network (over the modem port) connecting
to a remote serial device. The MultiConnect IP acts as a Terminal Server using the Telnet dialout
feature.

Features

The MultiConnect IP, acting as a Terminal Server, accommodates the following features:

Authenticates the serial port.

Monitors and waits for activity on the standard Telnet port (23) or user-defined RAW-Socket.

Opens the serial port from the command prompt (manual dialout) .

Opens the serial port directly (auto dialout) using a TCP Client according to the configured
port-number.

Switches between the command prompt and a dial-out session when the session is in Telnet
mode.
