Tunnel Settings
Note:
The number of lines and tunnels available for viewing and configuration differ
between Lantronix products. For example, XPort Pro and EDS1100 device servers
support only one line while other device networking products (such as EDS2100,
EDS4100, XPort AR, EDS8/16PS and EDS8/16/32PR devices) provide additional lines
and tunnels.
Tunneling allows serial devices to communicate over a network, without “being aware” of the
devices which establish the network connection between them.Tunneling parameters are
configured using the Web Manager or Command Mode Tunnel Menu. See
or the
Command Reference
for the full list of commands.
The EDS1100/2100 supports two tunneling connections simultaneously per serial port. One of
these connections is Connect Mode; the other connection is Accept Mode. The connections on
one serial port are separate from those on another serial port.
Connect Mode:
the EDS1100/2100 actively makes a connection. The receiving node on the
network must listen for the Connect Mode’s connection. Connect Mode is disabled by default.
Accept Mode:
the EDS1100/2100 device listens for a connection. A node on the network
initiates the connection. Accept Mode is enabled by default.
Disconnect Mode:
this mode defines how an open connection stops the forwarding of data.
The specific parameters to stop the connection are configurable. Once the EDS1100/2100
Disconnect Mode observes the defined event occur, it will disconnect both Accept Mode and
Connect Mode connections on that port.
When any character comes in through the serial port, it gets copied to both the Connect Mode
connection and the Accept Mode connection (if both are active).
View statistics and configure a specific tunnel by using the Tunnel web page. When you select
Tunnel from the Main Menu, tunnels available for your product will display. Select a specific tunnel
to configure.
The following sub-menus listed may be used to configure a specific tunnel:
Signon Message
Enter the boot-up signon message. Select a string type.
Text
= string of bytes sent on the serial line during boot time.
Binary
= one or more byte values separated by commas. Each byte value
may be decimal or hexadecimal. Start hexadecimal values with 0x.
Note:
This string will be output on the serial port at boot, regardless of whether
command mode is enabled or not.
