Remote Ports

The Digi CM unit supports remote ports. Remote ports are any type of port that

can be accessed using Telnet or SSH protocol. Types of ports include ports

that are provided using PortServer Terminals Servers or Sun ILOM ports. This

feature establishes the Digi CM unit as the central access system for any kind

of text based out-of-band management. Using the Digi CM unit as a central

access system has multiple advantages:

• Central point of access

• Central user authentication

• Capturing of every user transaction on the remote system

• Keyword monitoring and alarm while connection is up.

Configure Remote Ports

To configure a remote port use the following procedure.

1. Access the Digi CM unit’s web interface

2. Under the Serial Port heading click Configuration.

3. Scroll down the page to the section called Remote port configuration.

4. Enter the port title and click Add.

A pop-up window will appear to confirm the action.

5. Click the port title to access the configuration menus.

6. Select Remote port parameters

7. Enter the IP address, port number, and protocol to use.

8. Confirm you selections by clicking Save &apply . A pop-up window will

appear to confirm the successful execution.

Note: If you want to use a Digi PortServer TS 2 as remote device you would configure:

IP address as assigned, IP port 2001 for port 1 or 2002 for port 2 and telnet or

2501/ 2502 when using SSH as protocol.

All other settings of the remote port are equivalent to the settings of a local

serial port.
