5.1.2 - Protocols: telnet, tty, ssh or aux1/aux2
Connecting a character based session can be done:
- either in TCP/IP mode via telnet, tty or ssh protocols
- or in serial mode (RS232) by using AUX1 or AUX2 ports.
a) The TELNET Protocol
The telnet server is a standard module of the Unix/Linux TCP/IP stack. The
AX3000 can immediately open a client telnet session, without any additional
software or alteration to the Unix/Linux settings.
Main characteristics of a telnet session:
- dynamic allocation of pseudo-terminals (ptty),
- System access is controlled by a 'login', which is generated by the telnetd
daemon,
- The value of the TERM environment variable is negotiated after the login
stage. (See Chapter 5.1.7 for default TERM values.)
b) The TTY Protocol
The tty server is a Axel proprietary protocol. Additional software is required (see
Chapter 5.4).
