Device Service
A method used to connect a host to a host device port:
|
Netdata |
|
|
PortMaster |
(Default). When selected, the port is accessed through a /dev/tty device on the UNIX host. For this service, the PortMaster daemon in.pmd must be on the login host. PortMaster is the preferred service because it allows the port to operate like a serial port installed on the host. |
|
Rlogin |
Supported by many UNIX hosts, this service can be used to allow hosts on the network to initiate an rlogin session to the PortMaster. Once the session is established, a host application can directly read and write data to the asynchronous port. |
|
Telnet |
Supported by most TCP/IP hosts, this choice allows many different types of computers on the network to initiate a telnet session to the PortMaster. Once the session is established, the host application is able to directly read and write data to the serial port. |
