Data Carrier Detect (DCD) pin on the serial device being raised. When 
a connection is detected, the getty program issues a login: prompt, and 
then invokes the login program to handle the actual system login.

Serial bridging is the encapsulation of serial data into network packets 
and the transport of the data over a network. So two ECS0016 gateways 
can configured to act as a virtual serial cable over IP network. 
One gateway is configured as the server in Console Server mode with 
either RFC2217 or RAW enabled on the serial port to be bridged. 
For the client gateway, the serial port must be set in Bridging Mode.  To 
do so:
Select 

Serial Bridging Mode and specify the IP address of the first   

ECS0016 gateway and the TCP port address of the remote serial port (for 
RFC2217 bridging this will be 5001 - 5016) 

By default the bridging client will use RAW TCP, so you must select  

•
  RFC2217 if this is the console server mode you have specified on the  
  server gateway 

You may secure the communications over the local Ethernet by  

•
  enabling SSH, however you will need to generate and upload keys 

In addition to built-in logging and monitoring (which can be applied to seri-
al attached and network attached management accesses.  The ECS0016
