Key Features of TTYredirector 4.0

Server and application compatibility

  • User-defined device names, automatically linked to psuedo-tty (pty) devices
  • No predefined limit on pty devices, can use all available (256 on most distributions)
  • Server connections with raw TCP/IP, Telnet, or enhanced Telnet (RFC 2217) protocols
  • Automatic login with configurable server prompt strings
  • Baud-rate limiting to enforce a specified data rate from TTYredirector to a remote device
  • Port close delay for port hand-off applications
  • Nagle algorithm control to reduce latency for short transmissions and for faster recovery from packet loss
  • Server synchronization to prevents data flow until connection to server is fully negotiated
  • Automatic reconnect to server if the network connection is interrupted and restored

COM Port Control features

  • Automatically negotiated if device server supports Telnet protocol with RFC 2217 options
  • Initializes remote port baud rate, framing, parity, flow control, and DTR/RTS state
  • Regulates flow of data to/from device server with network-level flow control
  • Employs keep-alive mechanism for faster detection of failed network connections to the device server
