The package consists of two programs - PortRedorector and PortTest.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
PortRedirector is a daemon that runs telnet to the remote port of the
|
||
|
|
terminal server and redirects its input and output to a virtual
|
||
|
|
terminal device (/dev/pty*). The corresponding slave device (dev/tty*)
|
||
|
|
then can be used by an application that expects a local async terminal
|
||
|
|
port. For example, to monitor a UPS (connected to AUX ports on a Cisco router)
|
||
|
|
using nut.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Whenever telnet subprocess terminates on any reason, it is restarted
|
||
|
|
as soon as any data received from the terminal device.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It can also work when authentication is required, i.e. it can pass username
|
||
|
|
and password specified in its configuration file.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
PortTest is something like cu(1). You can use either of them to test the
|
||
|
|
connection.
