AXEL Office Server
Available network services (associated with serial ports):
- telnet client: dedicated to serial terminals (user-defined telnet port)
- lpd and rcmd: dedicated to printers (user-defined identifier)
-
tty client: to handle bi-directional peripherals (bar code readers,
scanners, scales, etc.) via a UNIX device (pseudo-terminal).
- telnet server: two possible uses:
- full control of port signals (RFC 2217) by using dedicated drivers
according to the operating system.
- giving LAN access to systems with no Ethernet connectivity.
- tty server: to handle bi-directional peripherals via a socket or a UNIX
device (pseudo-terminal).
