Console management is commonly used by connecting to Console/AUX or COM ports of routers,
switches, and UPS units. Rtelnet works the same as RAW mode in that only one TCP port is
listened to after booting up. The system then waits for a host on the network to initiate a
connection. The difference is that the RAW mode does not provide the conversion function
provided by Telnet. If the connected devices need to use the CR/LF conversion function when
controlling, then users must choose Rtelnet mode.
Disabled Mode
Setting the operation mode of a particular port to Disabled, disables that port.
RFC2217 Mode
RFC2217 is a standard driver that provides Virtual COM function. RFC2217 defines general com
port control options based on telnet protocol. Any 3rd party driver supporting RFC2217 can be used
to implement virtual COM on NPort 5600 series. The driver establishes a transparent connection
between host and serial device by mapping the IP:Port of the NPort 5600 series’ serial port to a local
COM port on the host computer. (RFC2217 Mode supports 1 connection)
