Configuring Remote Dial-In Access
Chapter 11 85
Introduction
The Digi CM supports dial-in connections from remote sites for out-of-band
access. In this configuration, the Digi CM has serial ports configured for
external modems and waits for dial-in connections from remote sites. If you
dial-in using a terminal application, the Digi CM accepts the connection and
displays a menu of available serials ports. In a dial-in terminal server mode,
the Digi CM makes a TCP connection with either a Telnet or SSH client to a
pre-defined server. RawTCP is also an option for dial-in users.
For more information on the different types of Host mode configuration, see
"Host Mode Configuration" on page 44.
