Q: I have a Systech Network Device Server (RCS, POS, NPS, NDS or iNS/ixNS series) on a remote network behind a firewall. What do I need to open in the firewall to use it with NativeCOM?
   
A: You will need to open the following ports in the firewall at the port server end in order for NativeCom to access the unit.
  • TCP port 6543
  • UDP port 9098
  • TCP port 23 - used to telnet to the unit.
  • TCP port 9001-9016
  • ICMP protocol - used to ping the unit.
 You will need to open the following ports in the firewall at the pc end in order for NativeCom to access the unit.  
  • ICMP protocol - used to ping the unit.

Now, install the port server as described above for a remote network.

  • Setup our port server on the remote network with an available IP address. Be sure to set up a route in the unit as described in the remote network section.
  • Install the NativeCom software on your pc. You can get the latest version from our website http://www.systech.com.
  • Verify that you can ping/telnet the port server from the pc.
  • Now add the com ports to your system the same as you would on a remote network without a firewall.
  • start/programs/nativecom/nativecom configuration utility.
• select single or multiport add.
• click add unlisted systech port server.
• enter ip address of the port server.
• add ports.

Deterministic Telnet Daemon

Allows you to have telnet sessions and to specify which PTY device to use for an incoming telnet connection, rather than arbitrarily picking a PTY device.This allows you to have the same tty name every time you log in. Available for UNIX

r4000 Utility

Provides command line uploads and downloads from the RCS/4000. Allows you to script updates of software and configurations for your field installation. Available for UNIX and Windows 95/98/NT/XP

rtn Utility

Creates a pseudo-tty (pty) device on the host that is connected via TELNET or raw TCP to an RCS/4000 serial port. Allows UNIX programs such as tip(1C) and uucp(1C) to access serial device attached to RCS/4000 ports. Available for UNIX
