I am looking for a terminal server product that can map each serial port on
the terminal server to a unique IP address. My application for this is
management of several network devices through a GUI tool that expects to
connect directly via telnet or a serial port to the device. The
management software has no programmatic capability, so I have no way to
negotiate my way through a terminal server's selection menu. What I need
instead is the ability to configure the management tool with a unique IP
address that will connect directly to the text stream of the device via
telnet, thereby faking out the software into thinking it has a network
connection to the device when it fact it has a serial connection.
There are situations where I cannot connect directly to the network port on
the device (such as when I'm configuring the network port or upgrading the
firmware on the network management card). Therefore I have no choice but
to go in by serial port.
I would greatly appreciate referrals to terminal server products that have
the capability I am describing.
