Line Commands
<host_port>
The port number the target host is listening on for incoming connections.
direct
Direct connections bypass the IOLAN, enabling the user to log straight into a specific
host. A direct connection is recommended where a user logging in to the IOLAN is not
required. It is also recommended where multiple sessions are not a requirement. The
message Press return to continue is displayed on the users screen. The user
must press a key to display the host login prompt. The message is redisplayed on
logout.
silent
Silent connections are the same as direct connections, except they are permanently
established. The host login prompt is displayed on the screen. Logging out redisplays
this prompt. Silent connections, unlike direct connections, however, make permanent
use of pseudo tty resources and therefore consume host resources even when not in use.
raw
Creates a connection where no authentication takes place and data is passed unchanged.
telnet
Sets the line for a telnet connection.
reverse
Enables a TCP/IP host to establish a login connection on an external machine attached
to a port. For example, to access machines like protocol converters, statistical
multiplexors, or machines like routers, firewalls, servers, etc.
dslogin
The default connection. The IOLAN displays a login on that line. For example,
DSLogin is used when a System Administrator configures the IOLAN or users starts a
session(s) from the IOLAN to hosts.
udp
Sets the line to listen for and/or send UDP data.
vmodem
The IOLAN port behaves as if it were a modem to the attached device.
client-tunnel
Sets the line for a client tunnel connection.
server-tunnel
Sets the line for a server tunnel connection.
modbus-master
Sets the line to act as a Modbus master.
custom-app
Sets the line to use the custom application created with the SDK.
trueport
Sets the line to communicate with the TruePort utility. You must install the TruePort
utility on the host machine.
