set dialserv

Purpose

Configures special behaviors on serial ports with DialServ devices attached.

Digi DialServ is an RJ-11 phone line simulator that allows legacy devices with built-in modems to communicate across LANs/WANs. This profile configures the Digi device to connect/tunnel serial data to an external host when the DialServ receives an incoming call, causes the DialServ to make outgoing calls, and tunnels TCP data from the incoming connection over the Dialserv when TCP traffic is received on the configured ports on the Digi device.

Important: Use of the dialserv serial port profile is required for DialServ interoperation. See "set profile" on page 324.

The connection wait time parameter specifies how much time the DialServ should wait for any outgoing connection to be made with the modem to which it is connected, after which it aborts the incoming TCP session that triggered the outgoing connection attempt.

Required permissions

For Digi products with two or more users, to use this command, permissions must be set to set permissions s‑dialserv=read to display DialServ settings, and set permissions s‑dialserv=rw to display and configure DialServ settings. See set permissions for details on setting user permissions for commands.

Syntax

set dialserv [ports=range] 
  [init_script=initialization script]
  [connection_wait_time=time]

Options

ports=range

The port or ports to which the DialServ settings apply.

init_script=initialization script

The name of an initialization script. This initialization script will be sent to configure the DialServ device before making an outgoing connection, or receiving an incoming connection.

connection_wait_time=time

The amount of time, in seconds, to wait for a connection made from the DialServ. Incoming TCP connections will be severed if a connection cannot be made in this time.
