Most terminal servers can be used as either inbound or outbound, or both (dynamic) devices. We have modems connected to our terminal server to dial in on and access our network, or anything our network is connected to. Additionally, my users can telnet to a specified port at the terminal server, which gives them access to the command line of the modem, just as if it were connected to the COM port on their PC.

Does the NT Server have to run DM> software for the Terminal Server, or does it simply see the DM> IP address? Either/or depending on how the Terminal Server works. Ours is an IOLAN model, it comes with native ROM loaded software which provides Telnet/Rlogin/DNS applications across SLIP/CSLIP/PPP or a standard asynchronous character interface, configuration support, and statistical reporting. Currently, however, we are downloading the 'firmware' via tftp from one of my Unix servers until they can get us the upgraded ROM. The executable code is about 350k. The Terminal Server stores a configuration that includes information about it's hostname, it's IP address, and it's Ethernet address.

If it's a LAN-connected Terminal Server it does indeed have a seperate IP address for itself and each serial port along with Telnet and SLIP software built-in. It would also have SNMP for Net-Management stuff and usually a seperate serial port for a local terminal or printer to help with it's management. No software is needed on the NT, the TS is it's own "computer" with it's own software, and IP address. -Peter Conrad -peter78203@aol.com --- timEd/B8 * Origin: Point Ophelia - Middletown,CA (1:2003/7.14)
