The Console Server unit provides four types of operation modes. These are described below.
Console-Server Mode
Configuring a serial port as a console server creates a TCP socket on the unit that listens to
a telnet or SSH client connection. When you connect to the TCP socket, you have access to
the device attached to the serial port as if the device were connected directly to the network.
Data streams can be sent back and forth between the device and the telnet/SSH client
program. RawTCP is also supported with the console-server mode.
