Chapter 4
IP Terminal Server Setup
If you have workstations or terminals at a remote site that
require access to a host on the local network, you can configure
the NETServer to function as a terminal server.
Terminal or Workstation Setup
A. The remote user should get the following information from
the NETServer’s system administrator:
•
The user name and password that he or she will use.
•
The telephone number of the NETServer the user must
dial into.
•
If the terminal or workstation user will be able to choose
which host he or she will log into for a given session, the
IP address or name of each possible host must also be
known.
B. The dial in workstation or terminal should be configured for
the following communications parameters:
•
8 bits, No parity, and 1 stop bit
•
Hardware (RTS/CTS) flow control
•
Normal Carrier Detect
•
Hang up and reset when DTR drops
Note that although these settings are the defaults, you can
change the NETServer’s communications parameters if you
want to. See Port Configuration, Serial Communications
Parameters in Chapter 10 and your modem reference
material for more information.
