WindowsNT/Windows2000/WindowsXP, with each serial port of the UT-66XXM-I series serial server to be mapped

as the local COM port of the Windows host PC. Operation of these ports is similar to operation of the local COM

ports on the host, plus, any existing software or communication module of the original device can be used directly

without any change.

★Supports the UNIX host login mode

The present mode is used by the terminal device to login to the Linux/Unix host, where each serial port supports up to

8 virtual displays. All the displays support both the Telnet or Fixtty login, and can choose to login a different host or

the same host.

Allows communication with different hosts using the same terminal, enabling the single user, single terminal and

multi- mission operation. The Fixedtty drive is provided for SCO Unix/Linux/Unixware under fixed port mode (Fixtty).

No extra configuration work is required on the host, except the installation of the drive program. All the configuration

is done on the terminal server, through this way the cleaness of the host system is ensured and the operation of the

terminal server won’t be affected by other accidental actions.

In addition, any name started with “tty” can be assigned to each login terminal by the user under the fixed port mode,

which is more convenient for management and easier for troubleshooting.

c) Working mode

TCP realport (TCP/IP virtual serial mode)

TCP realport works in Windows environment to map ports of a serial server as virtual COM ports of the local host through

drive program, enabling the COM based upper end software to use the serial ports just like real local COM ports without

any modification of the software. The drive program supports an extension of COM1024 for the most. Moreover, each

independent port supports multiple sessions (up to 6 connections), which makes the monitoring of the serial devices more

flexible and more convenient. In addition, the multiple connections resource can be used as a connection backup.

TCP/IP socket (WINSOK mode)

Communication

Mode

Working mode option

TCP Data Mode There are two parameters for the TCP data mode: [raw] and [telnet], the first is for fully

transparent transmission, and the second means that the socket data is in accordance with

TELNET and RFC2217 standard. Control code is added to the data received by the server from

the serial ports and then sent to other nodes in the Ethernet through socket.

Local Port Port number (default as 1001, 1002…)

CR As There are four parameters: [none], [cr], [lf], and [cr-lf]. [none] means that the server will not send

an “ENTER” received from a serial port to the Ethernet; [cr] means that the server will send an

“ENTER” received from a serial port to the Ethernet just as it is; [lf] means that the server will

change an “ENTER” received from a serial port to a “NEW LINE” and then send it to the

Ethernet; [cr-lf] means that the server will change an “ENTER” received from a serial port to an

“ENTER” and a “NEW LINE” and then send them to the Ethernet.

LF As There are four parameters: [none], [cr], [lf], and [cr-lf]. [none] means that the server will not send

an “ENTER” received from a serial port to the Ethernet; [cr] means that the server will send an

“ENTER” received from a serial port to the Ethernet just as it is; [lf] means that the server will

change an “ENTER” received from a serial port to a “NEW LINE” and then send it to the

Ethernet; [cr-lf] means that the server will change an “ENTER” received from a serial port to an

“ENTER” and a “NEW LINE” and then send them to the Ethernet.

Sessions Number of hosts connected to the device (up to six)

Strip NULL

Authentication It is possible that the server send a request for authentication when connected, the connection

will be cancelled if the user’s name and the password are incorrect. This configuration option

has two parameters: [none] and [local]. Note: If [local] is selected for the authentication, the

users should be added correspondingly, and it is possible to set the operation authority of the

users to the serial ports; if no user is added, the [authentication] set is invalid, which means that

the connection will be permitted to be established even the input user name and password don’t

exist.

Auth Prompt If this option is set to yes, a login hint will show up when connecting the server: (Login: and

Password)

SERVER First Server priority status

Used as a TCP client

Peer Host The IP address pointing to the server end

Peer Port The port number pointing to the server end

Connect Issuing a connect includes four situations: [always], [char], [dcdon], and [dsron]:

[always] means that the server starts a connection at power up and reconnects immediately if

the connection is broken;

[char] means that the server starts a connection as soon as the corresponding port receives the

data;

[dcdon] means that the server starts a connection when DCD of the corresponding serial

RS-232 port is set to a high value;

[dsron] means that the server starts a connection when DSR of the corresponding serial RS-232

port is set to a high value;

Page 12/21

UTEK TECHNOLOGY (ASIA) CO., Ltd. http://www.szutek.com 0755-27886063

Disconnect Issuing a disconnect includes four situations: [none], [dcdoff], [dsroff], and [break]:

[none] means that the server will never try to disconnect;

[dcdoff] means that the server disconnect when DCD of the corresponding serial RS-232 port is

set to a lower value from a higher value;

[dsroff] means that the server disconnect when DSR of the corresponding serial RS-232 port is

set to a lower value from a higher value;

[break] means that the server disconnect when the corresponding serial RS-232 port receives a

break message.

Freetime Idle time (To set the idle time before automatic disconnection, the server will disconnect if there

is no data transmission in the time period (in second) set. If the value is set to “0”, the server will

never try to disconnect no matter how long the idle time is.)

Multi screens TTY

The server can use this mode as a char terminal, which is common in financial industry. This mode supports two protocols:

telnet and rtelnet. Telnet doesn’t need any drive program, but the terminal name it receives when login to the system is not

fixed; rtelnet uses drive program to login to the same terminal for each time, thus the terminal name is fixed.

Screens Number of screens (each serial port supports up to 6 screens) (UT-66XXM-I supports

multi-screen switching)

Term Type Terminal type (Here the user can enter the type of the terminal simulation to adapt to the

handling of special characters)

Auto Connect Automatic connection (There are two options: [cr] and [auto], [cr] will connect to the host when

the “ENTER” button on the terminal is pressed, and [auto] will connect to the host at power up)

Logoff Disconnection conditions (there are four options: [none], [dcdoff], [dsroff], and [break]. [none]

means that the server will never try to disconnect; [dcdoff] means that the server disconnect

when DCD of the corresponding serial RS-232 port is set to a lower value from a higher value;

[dsroff] means that the server disconnect when DSR of the corresponding serial RS-232 port is

set to a lower value from a higher value; [break] means that the server disconnect when the

corresponding serial RS-232 port receives a break message.)

Prompt Prompt message (The actions and status of the current connection will be displayed on the

terminal when connection is established between the server and the UNIX host.)

MODEM Mode MODEM configuration (This option has three parameters: [none], [in] and [out]. [none]:

MODEM control is invalid; [in]: MODEM is waiting for dial in; [out]: MODEM dials out
