Description
Mode
The method to be used to connect to a remote host or
device.
Disabled = An outgoing connection is never attempted.
(This is the default).
Enabled = A connection is attempted until one is made. If
the connection gets disconnected, the EDS retries until it
makes a connection.
Any Character = A connection is attempted when any
character is read on the serial line.
Modem Control Asserted = A connection is attempted
as long as the Modem Control pin (DSR) is asserted, until
a connection is made.
Start Character = A connection is attempted when the
start character for the selected tunnel is read on the serial
line.
Modem Emulation = A connection is attempted when
triggered by modem emulation AT commands.
Remote
Address
Enter the remote address to which the EDS will connect.
Enter an IP address or DNS name.
Remote Port
Enter the remote port number.
Local Port
Enter the port for use as the local port. A random port is
selected by default. Once you have configured a number,
click the Random link in the Current Configuration to
switch back to Random.
Protocol
Select the protocol type for use in Command Mode. TCP
is the default protocol.
The protocol can be one of TCP, UDP, SSH, SSL,
Telnet, TCP with AES, or UDP with AES.
If security is a concern, use SSH. The SSH Username
specifies the SSH Client User to use for an outgoing SSH
connection. To set up an SSH Client User, go to SSH
Settings on page 93.
Reconnect
Timer
Enter the reconnect time in milliseconds. The EDS
attempts to reconnect after this amount of time after
failing a connection or exiting an existing connection.
Flush Serial
Data
Select whether to flush the serial line when a connection
is made. Choices are:
Enabled = flush the serial line when a connection is
made.
Disabled = do not flush the serial line. (default)
