Configuring Host Mode
54 Chapter 5
Dial-In Terminal Server
Dial-in terminal server mode is a combination of the terminal server mode and
the dial-in modem mode. In the dial-in terminal server mode, the Digi CM unit
assumes the serial port is connected to an external modem and is waiting for a
dial-in connection from a remote site. When you dial-in using terminal
applications, the Digi CM unit accepts the connection as a Telnet or SSH client
to a pre-defined server. This mode is most frequently used when you want to
use modems to access servers on a network.
Configuring Host Mode
To configure a serial port for host mode, enter the values in the applicable
fields. To access the Host mode configuration screen, do the following:
1. Access the web interface.
2. Under the Serial Port heading, click Configuration.
